Is It Normal To Notice A Fairly Large Indentation On The Back Of My Baby S Skull?

I noticed a fairly large indentation on the back of my 3 week old s skull, it ranges from the middle of the back of his head to the crown. It also is indented on the right side on the top of his head, to the right of the medial suture. Is this normal?

Hi...this is normal provided the it is not causing any harm to the baby. This is a normal suture response. But if the kid is having any developmental issues later you may need to see your pediatrician.
