Hi, I'm new here, just looking for advice/opinions. Firstly I just want to mention, I do suffer with anxiety and health anxiety. I'm a FTM and sometimes struggle with knowing if I'm being reasonable or just over anxious.
Please be kind x
I saw an article posted online my local newspaper, a mum from my town raising awareness of acute hydrocephalus, she mentioned symptoms of baby's growing forehead and episodes of sleepiness.
I've panicked myself now after reading different articles (I'm the worst) and got myself anxious over my son. He had a perfectly round head when he was born (we called him a little pea head 🥰) and now I'm not sure if he's just growing into his head shape or if it's something else. These articles have mentioned about a heavy brow ridge which his has. (I think?)
Here's a little bit about my son;
He is 5 months 12 days. Very alert, active little cherub, he is a chatterbox (babbles obviously) good coordination, sees his dummy picks up and pops in mouth, has had super strong legs from birth (nearly every HV, GP and MW mentioned at diff appointments) he can stand for good amount of time when we support him. He's EBF, feeds well 5/10 mins, fussy on one boob but otherwise no issues.
When he was 3 months old we had to go to the hospital as he became what we describe as unresponsive, he wouldn't wake properly and was very drowsy. It lasted 45 mins then went back to normal. Had blood tests done, all clear, docs sent home saying 'sometimes babies just don't want to wake up' not had anything similar since.
Sorry it's a long one and I know I probably sound nuts, just wanted some opinions if it's just me in an anxious state for nothing or if it's something I should take him to be checked for? Thank you so much if you've read to the end. Xx
