This Is My Grandson He Is 3 Mos, Does It

Frontal bone looks prominent
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being on 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have seen the images and in all the images frontal bone(forehead) appears to be prominent.
I would like to know if there is any significant past medical history, any developmental abnormality or any family history of similar appearance.
Many times the forehead prominence is not associated with any significant abnormality and it improves with growing age. Uncommonly there may be associated with developmental or other neurological abnormality. Vitamin D deficiency may also cause forehead prominence but not at this age.
I won't get overly worried if the baby is otherwise active and there is no associated abnormality.
I would request you to consult a pediatrician for clinical evaluation to rule out the remote possibility of any abnormality.
I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards
