Hello I am worried about my babies head shape ? Is it normal for it not to be even at this point? She does have her soft spot and large vein in the middle

any opinions would be welcome thank you !

I have not got a clue about the answer to your question. But I just wanted to say that your baby looks utterly adorable (and I am not normally one to coo over babies). Hopefully my comment might bump this up so someone who may be able to give you a sensible answer will see it.

There is a website called Starbands that another poster recommended on here that might be useful.

Our DD had an oddly shaped head for the first quite a few months i seem to remember. We were worried sick obvs but like so many things it sorted itself out over time. Always worth double checking with a GP or whatever just to put your mind at ease though! Better than worrying for 6 months. Good luck!

Aw what a cutie! I was so stressed when my little one was around this age that his head didn't look right as well! I took him to the doctors who told me not to worry at all as their scalp is still squishy and forming! The doctor told me it would correct itself and now my boy is nearly one and has a perfectly round head lol. If you're worried I would just go to the doctors for peace of mind, and just make sure you're doing tummy time, holding them etc as much as you're able to, that was the advice I was given at the time! Was a pain though as my little one hated being on his tummy, now that he's a roly poly non-stop mover I miss the days when he was happy to lie on his back and kick haha
