Newborn - Head not round, feels swollen

2022-08-07 14:32:11
Hi there, My newborn baby's head is not round and stiff (not flat either). It's kind of spongy since the birth only at mid left part. Doctor says it's normal and generally gets normal by 6-7 week, just wanted a second opinion to make sure it's alright. Any help would be appreciated.
