Soft Spot Question
Posted: 10-19-04 15:23pm

So what does it mean if a baby's soft spot is sunken? Brooklyn soft spot is slightly sunken in... I know it can be a sign of being sick, but I dont know how deep it has to be before its no longer normal. Everything else with her seems fine, she doesnt have a fever or anything, but last night up until 9:30 this morning she didnt really want to eat much, she was, I guess you can call it snacking, for about 5 minutes at a time. But she seems to be having enough wet diapers, but she doesnt poop much anymore, but I heard that is normal for breastfed babies once they get to be about 1 month.

Its supposed to be like that, its when it pops up kinda is when its not too good. Like not sunken in or soft. Mexicans have a weird way of getting it back to normal though. Like I heard before you push on the roof of their mouth to get it back to normal, another time I heard then hold the baby upside down and pat her feet, umm...Im not sure what else. But it cant be anybody that does that, it has to be like a certain lady who knows what shes doing. Because mexians have this thing, where if you let anyone touch or hold the baby who feels envious or dont like you-the baby can sense it and it can stress the baby and stuff. Its wierd but we go by it anyways lol
