Spine can be felt like little protruding
My daughter is 1 year old and her lower back about 3 Inch above the buttocks (probably thoracic). I can feel the spine little bit protruding when she bends, it's straight from top when bends but litte protruding at the lower back. Wanted to know if this is normal. When she stands straight I cannot feel the protrusion..it's felt only when she bends. The protrusion is roughly 2 centimetres.

Hi
It can be normal also but requires detailed history, proper evaluation and if required then xray also before jumping to any conclusion.

I would recommend you meet a pediatric Orthopedic surgeon near you. Thorough evaluation in clinic is essential for better diagnosis.
