Turned out to be negative, but he did have torticollis which was deemed responsible for both.. My point is that doctors are usually keyed into what's normal and what's troublesome, so it's worth it to call and doublecheck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunken-posterior-fontanelle#post-1173611 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 22:14:21 +0000 StbHisMrs 1173611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: Hmm, I'll call her ped tomorrow. She doesn 't have any flat spots, this is like a dent. I was worried her sister hit her, but there was no crying or anything when I noticed it. To be honest it grosses me out, I have a hard time feeling it :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunken-posterior-fontanelle#post-1173324 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 20:02:58 +0000 wheres_c 1173324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started noticing something like that around 2.5 months and it actually turned out to be plagiocephaly......the dr brought it up at our 4 month appointment and our LO ended up wearing a helmet to correct the issue.<br /> It doesn't hurt to check with the dr... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunken-posterior-fontanelle#post-1172759 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 17:52:01 +0000 googly-eyes 1172759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: I'd give the doctor a call, can't hurt to ask. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunken-posterior-fontanelle#post-1172750 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 17:49:52 +0000 .twist. 1172750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: hm. Maybe give a call and ask? If he did an exam I wouldn't worry too much. Also you could monitor it for a couple days and if it changes, call. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunken-posterior-fontanelle#post-1172719 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 17:38:19 +0000 StbHisMrs 1172719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes he did, said everything looked great. Problem is I didn't notice it until afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunken-posterior-fontanelle#post-1172685 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 17:20:47 +0000 .twist. 1172685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did the doctor do a head exam? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sunken-posterior-fontanelle#post-1172647 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 16:55:57 +0000 StbHisMrs 1172647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie is 2.5 months old, her Dr didn't mention any abnormalities at her 2 month baby well check but a day or 2 afterwards I noticed what felt like a dent in the back of her head. It never goes away, I thought the posterior fontanelle was the least noticeable but in her case it's not. She has normal wet diapers, normal poop, eats normal, act like an overall happy girl. Do you think I should be worried? She doesn't go back to the Dr until December. </p>
