We started being crazy about this at 4 months and by his 6 month appt, my doctor didn't seem worried. He has a little flat spot at the back of his head but I think that's just the way his head is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-knobby-head#post-893803 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 13:43:09 +0000 Mrsbells 893803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: A lady at our daycare has her child in a helmet to correct something like this, she said one side of her baby's head was flat </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-knobby-head#post-893798 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 13:41:40 +0000 Ginabean3 893798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Ha!

But either way, you're not alone, so at least you know you're not the only one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-knobby-head#post-893775 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 13:36:31 +0000 Ginabean3 893775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Ah! sorry for getting you worried!!! I'm sure little Xander is just fine. It was just bothering me ALL night I thought, "I'm going to post about it on HB to make myself feel better". LOL. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-knobby-head#post-893771 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 13:35:18 +0000 Adira 893771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: Gahh, now you have ME worried, haha! I was just assuming that his head was all bumpy! LOL! Now I'm going to his appointment next week and being all "FEEL HIS HEAD!!! IS THIS NORMAL???" I'm guessing it's probably fine though. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-knobby-head#post-893765 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 13:33:47 +0000 Ginabean3 893765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Thanks for your input! My LO is also 4 months (2 mo adjusted for prematurity). I'm definitely going to ask the dr when we go next month. Her head LOOKS fine, it's only when I feel it that it feels slightly uneven....I hope she doesn't need one of those helmets...and if she does I'd rather her get one sooner than later! I'm sure she's fine. I'm just a paranoid first time mama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-knobby-head#post-893755 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 13:31:48 +0000 Adira 893755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really have advice, but I do find Xander's head fairly bumpy and uneven. Not sure if that's normal or not. It looks okay though. He's 4 months. Hoping at his 4 month check-up, the ped will let me know if it feels weird or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-knobby-head#post-893728 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 13:23:25 +0000 Ginabean3 893728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was touching LO's head today and it feels like it's a little knobby on one side. I know that it takes up to year for their skulls to be completely fused....but I'm a worrywart. Have you had an experience with knobby heads? Or even heads that are flatter on one side than the other? (I've been religiously turning her head from side to side when she naps so it's nicely shaped, LOL). I think I'm just paranoid because LO was a preemie so anything that doesn't seem "normal" I think is related to her prematurity...if that makes sense... </p>
