A member asked:
I can feel a lot of my son's spine when he curls up, he's 3 weeks old, is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It does sound like: It should be as in the curled or fetal position the projections or the spinous processes that are in the middle of the back are more prominent in this position.
