A photograph will help. If the shape of head, even after 14 days of birth is abnormal, take consultation. If it was normal, it should have resolved by Day 7 of life.
Next Steps
Any history of jaundice ?
Health Tips
Activity of child if normal, no jaundice, not to worry urgently. But better to take consultation in case of doubt.
