larger than average soft spot

ds has this.  anyone else? the pedi never said anything about it either way, just that it is 'larger than average'.  if your LO has this, has pedi said anything about it?

anyone else still notice LO's soft spot?  it makes me nervous still.

Yeah DD does too. When she was sick doc said it was a bit sunken in and she needed to be hydrated, but other than that, she hasn't mentioned anything else about the size. yeah, it scares me too.

Your LO sleeps with headphones?? Are they regular ones? DD is such a light sleeper and wakes up if a pin drops when we are out and about. I might try that.

I had the opposite problem.  DS has a smaller than normal soft spot.  Our pedi sent us to see a neurologist because they were concerned some of his skull bones had fused to early.  They took head x-rays to make sure there was no premature fusion.  Everything was fine, but kind of a scary experience. If your doc didn't say anything about it, then I bet you are fine.  I would specifically ask though just to ease your fears.
