Itâs understandable to worry, but only a pediatrician can confirm if your baby has craniosynostosis. This condition occurs when the skull bones fuse too early, potentially affecting head shape and growth. However, the hard ridge you feel could also be normal skull development. The visible forehead veins might be due to thin skin in babies. Since your child is active, walking, and speaking, these are positive signs. Reduced height growth might not be directly related. Consult a pediatrician or pediatric neurologist for evaluation. A physical exam or imaging like an X-ray or CT scan will help diagnose and guide treatment.
