Chest shape
Today I saw this little dip in my 16months old baby's chest. Pls see pics attached. Is it normal? Or should I consult with a pediatrician? No other problem reported
Note- pls ignore the pacifier / soother. He occasionally needs it during sleep time.

Apparently it looks like normal variant in a healthy child. Just keep observation on him whether any difficulty in breathing or chest retraction are developing or not.
