Greetings Babies' heads may have an abnormal shape until they start sitting up, typically from around 6 months of age. A forceps delivery can cause a swelling on the head known as a cephalhematoma, which usually resolves on its own and may consolidate into a small, hard bump. This condition is innocuous and does not cause any harm.
