I’m loosing my mind.
when my 7 week old is lay flat his soft spot is flat to the skull no dips
when he’s upright it’s significantly sunken and visible to the eye.. we went to the doctors yesterday who said it’s ‘normal’ gravity pulls it in and he’s definitely not dehydrated and is well alert but I can’t help but fixate over it!

I was going to say dehydrated but if a medical professional has already seen him and said it’s fine then it’s fine!

It sounds like you might have a touch of PNA - I had it too (twice!)
I had CBT which worked wonders. Keep an eye on yourself and speak to your HV or Midwife if you think you might be suffering xx
