Yes, a small soft spot at the back of the head (posterior fontanelle) can be normal, especially in preterm babies. If baby is active, feeding well, and the area is not bulging or sunken, there is usually no need to worry. Kindly show it to your pediatrician at the next routine pediatric visit for assessment and confirmation.
