There : There are no illnesses that i know of that cause a "mushy forehead". Some kids may have more fat under the skin of the forehead than others and she may be at one end of the spectrum. If she is growing and developing appropriately and has no other outward signs of illness, this may just be something you want to bring up to her doctor at her next check-up.
