Dent / ridge across the top of 10 month boy head

My 10 month boy who was large 9lb10 baby at birth has been growing well and stayed steadily on his percentile.

I've noticed over the past month or so a ridge across the top of his head.

It's hard to see as he has hair but it is very noticeable when you feel his head.

He didn't have this at birth.

Can anyone reassure me that babies head shapes change and ridges May come and go and are normal?

He will be due his 12 month check up over the next few months but will get him to a doc sooner if it's not normal

Take to GP, my DD has this but the GP needs to regularly check them as they can fuse wrong, although that's extremely rare so don't threat. It's usually caused by laying down a certain way too much. Plagiocephaly I think that's called.
