Ridge on babys forehead?

Hi all I'm FTM. I've recently noticed a ridge on the middle of my babys head. He will be 12 weeks tomorrow.
After a quick look at Google I'm terrified. Am I imagining things or can anyone else see it. Should I speak to the GP about it?

"prominent metopic ridge" is a common variant of normal heads so worth looking at pictures of those in case that's reassuring. If you're worried it's reasonable for GP or Health Visitor to take a look though.

Normal variation of heads.

Given how absolutely rammed GPs are at the moment it would totally indulgent to waste their time with this UNLESS your child is actually unwell.

Speak to your Health visitor when you next attend a development appointment.
