Soft spot

Sorry for the poor video but thought it was the best way to see what I mean Would you say my baby’s soft spot is sunken? Should I be concerned? She is 4 weeks 4 days

Sounds weird but if you tip her on her side is it normal? My eldest had a really big soft spot and I thought it was sunken one day but then realised it was just always like that if he was upright and if I had him on his side/lying down is was completely normal again!

My 6 week old's looks exactly the same at times but he eats regularly and wees regularly 🤔 I too keep getting concerned though! Asking about it tomorrow at our 6 week check, kinda hoping it is like this so that the gp can see it as it comes and goes x

Does it look a bit less sunken/ flat once they’ve had milk? X

@Jess could you give more info? I was about to comment that mine has a smaller one but I feel like it kind of disappears after breastfeeding. Wasn't sure it's connected to feeding until I read your comment

My midwife said if it looks like the its from dehydration

@Brittany think it’s because when sunken it can be a sign of dehydration xx

@Brittany my little boys does this and I remember with my first but it’s only for temporary and if he hasn’t done a feed in awhile. Usually notice it when he asks for milk! Sometimes after big wee or poo but it always comes back up after having milk
