We never noticed when she was born because it wasn't there... After a month or so it grew very little then it did not stop growing till she was two months and it hasn't since then. It is the size of a pea!!! I took her to the pediatrician neurologist and he said there is nothing wrong with her head, he just said we can't do an X-Ray at the moment because she is too young. The bump feels hard, i don't know whether it's a bone or some sort of cyst. Please help me am very worried.. I don't know if this thing is going to go away or not... If anyone has heard of a case like this with other babies let me know.

If you're doctor isn't worried, then it's best to see what happens. I know that's aggravating, but it's true that x-tays are a little too hard to do for a child that young. It doesn't mean that x-rays aren't possible because some babies and children really do need them, so if you really think she needs one, you can choose another doctor or even get a second opinion.

Sometimes babies and toddlers have bumps that can't be explained, and then they go away later. If the bump is not any larger and she doesn't have any other bumps on her body, it's probably ok to wait. Just go with your gut.
