I just found a reddened area on the back of LO's head, maybe a bruise. Could this be caused by baby sleeping on her back? She had just woken from a nap.

new here but we just had DS to the pedi last thursday for his 2 month appt and he has this mark on the back of his head near his neck. the pedi called it a "stork bite."

most likely not a bruise, ds has two on his head, which are very red, and he has a stork bite on his forehead! everybody always thinks their bruises or he hit his head, but he was born with them and the pedi says they should fade in time!

LO has a mark that looks just like a bruise, everyone asks about it!

My baby has salmon patches which are a type of birthmark on the back of her head. For more info - https://www.skinsight.com/infant/salmonPatch.htm
