Sunken soft spot or just paranoid?

shwebb · October 2008

From the side, it appears normal, but in certain light, like from above it appears maybe a little sunken. So not dramatically sunken or concave, but I can see it when I'm looking for it, like I can definitely see the outline of the soft spot. Does this make sense? Anyone else's DC like this? Thinking of calling the pedi.....

I know it could be from dehydration, but I don't see how this is possible, she's been nursing constantly lately and has plenty of wet diapers.

I can easily see the outline of DS's soft spot and it's not exactly level with the rest of his head (obviously since there's no bone there) but I wouldn't consider it sunken. I don't think you should be concerned if she has plenty of wet diapers.

I wouldn't worry. Especially if DC has plenty of wet diapers.

DD's has always felt more sunken in than the rest of her head and I freaked out too, but the drs. said it was fine.

LOL... this was me the other day. I don't normally notice it, but he was in the swing and I was standing above him and the sun was shining on him. It looked really sunken in to me and I had my sister come over to look at it and compare with her babies. He has plenty of wet diapers as well.
