Second opinion.: Parental concerns about their infant's health must be taken seriously. Seek second opinions to reassure yourself from a pediatric neurologist, an experienced pediatrician and a pediatric neuroradiologist.

Sitting or laying: A well hydrated kid's soft spot will often pouch out if they are laying down, but is usually flat or slightly sunken if sitting or standing. By following your babies head measurements your dr can decide if this needs another look.
