My 9 month old has like a dent on the back of her head next to the top, what is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skull molding: This is called skull molding. It is usually from the fact that we lay babies on their back to sleep. The back of the skull flattens. The skull will most likely remold over time. Mention it to your pediatrician if you are worried about it. Hope this helps!
