it’s definitely normal lovely, their head is still forming shape, and all head shapes can be a bit weird and bumpy even into adulthood! 🤣 i’m sure it will round out a bit more. something to help with head shape as well is lots of tummy time! babies laying on their back lots can get flat heads and things so tummy time is recommended to help head shape and i’m sure it would be the same in this case too but don’t worry, it’s normal❤️
I remember having these same concerns with my son’s head shape at 3 months! This is likely normal. However, I’d definitely run it by his doctor soon, especially if that little bump in the back hasn’t always been there. Can you still feel baby’s soft spots when you gently touch the top of the skull? There’s one at the top and there might still be a smaller soft spot in the back. If you can feel them, that means they haven’t prematurely closed which can cause changes in head shape. However, at around 3 months the one in the back naturally starts to close up completely. So don’t be alarmed if you can’t feel that one. Bottom line, this is probably normal but check with doctor if you can x
