A member asked:

My baby is 2 days old and has a very prominent ridge on his head- temple to temple- is this anything to be concerned about? i had a c-section. he was born at 38 weeks and 5 days and weighed 3.32 at birth no complications

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ridge/baby's skull: This is a fairly common event, and may indicate a harmless overlap in the immature bones of the skull. as the baby grows, and the skull expands, this ridge may disappear. See your pediatrician for a more detailed explanation.
