Sometimes when a new person steps into the picture, they notice
things that look unusual that others haven't noticed because they've
happened so gradually. There may be a subtle difference in the
way your baby's head looks from how you and your husband perceive it to
be because you are used to your "round heads." The concern with
misshapen heads or with fontanels (soft spots) closing too soon is that
the baby's brain still has some growing to do. You want to make
sure the cage it's in (the skull) can grow also to accomodate that
brain growth. If it doesn't there could be serious outcomes
incuding delayed development, and possibly life-long issues. I am
sure you don't want that for your baby, so why not just go along and
have additional studies done to be sure. There is nothing
invasive about x-rays and the other tests he will probably
suggest. Just make sure if the baby is to have more than a few
x-rays, that they cover his body to prevent issues such as damage to
bone marrow, thyroid, sex organs. Thanks for the oportunity to
help. Judy, RN
