Baby head shape

Hello, I was just wondering if my babys head is normally shaped to anyone, we went for her check ups last month and a doctor who wasn't qualified said our babies head felt fused closed, back then her head did seem like a abnormal shape but her head was an unusual shape when she was first born and we certainly wasn't informed her head had fused closed , this doctor said he had referred us to children's hospitalhut upon calling the hospital this was false and he said not to worry about her head... I just wondered if anyone thinks her head looks ok, it has changed shape massively from that doctors appointment and I'm just a concerned mother.

Why were you at an unqualified doctor?
Babies heads are usually shaped strangely at birth if they are born vaginally, but it resolves quickly. I assume you mean the fontanelle has closed. Which one? And how old is your baby? Have you been worried since the check up, or what triggered it now?

It looks absolutely perfect to me and I've had 4 babies myself. ❤️

I think they didn't have any other doctors available he rushed me out of there as quickly as possible he didn't even explain anything I had to ask him. He didn't check me over so I feel as though I've been worrying since this appointment because he wasn't very professional and I was in tears in his office and he just shooed me away
