Soft spot

Is this normal, sometimes it’s sunken like this and sometimes you can’t see it. I’ll post another in comments. I’m sat now looking and it looks normal

A sunken soft spot can indicate dehydration but also can look sunken from some angles. My sons regularly looked sunken in. Could also just mean baby hasn’t fed in a while. Keep an eye on it and mention it to a doctor if it persists?

Yeah I'd speak with a doctor/ health visitor about it as it can mean baby is dehydrated x

Yep, indication of dehydration or other health issues. You should seek done medical advice as this is quite pronounced (perhaps 111 if you are in the U.K.).

Yeah I know it means dehydration that’s why I’m worrying but it’s just so strange that sometimes it’s sunken and others it’s not

I would speak to a doctor/ 111 and see what they say about why it sometimes is and sometimes isn't. Good luck x

Well because the baby is clearly not retaining enough fluids. But speak to a medical professional.

We were told if any sunken in signs or can signal dehydration, I would speak to your GP or HV X
