Baby’s head
I know this sounds bad but I’m a bit worried about my baby’s head size/shape. Her forehead is very prominent and really sticks out from the top and side. The back of her head seems to go out too. I’m not too surprised by the size of her forehead as I have a big one myself lol but it’s more the way it sticks out. I did have really bad pp anxiety and still struggle with it sometimes, but last time I spoke to my hv about my concerns about my baby she referred me to therapy LOL. So now I’m worried about saying anything incase she doesn’t take me seriously and thinks it’s just my anxiety again. Does anyone have any advice? Do I just wait and see if she grows into it? I actually feel like it’s becoming more prominent as she grows but I don’t know if it’s just in my head. I’m just so worried because what if it is a sign of something? How do I know what a “normal” head shape is? Any advice is appreciated x

Is the rest of her head proportional/normal? You’re not concerned? My little boy had a little flat spot when he was younger and I took him to a cranial osteopath and he was great, and now his head is back to normal
To me all babies have really odd shaped heads! I noticed it recently on a pic. Both my LO and her friend looked like aliens. I’m sure there’s nothing wrong but like others have said see your GP if you’re that worried

Have you thought about doctors? As they might be able to reassure you? They might offer a test but better safe than sorry as they say. Is there a way to ask to have a picture shared of her head side ways? As my little girl had a little bit of a werid shape but I’ve put that down to her fathers head shape xx
