Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
The baby looks absolutely fine and there is no cause for concern. As the bone of infants are quite resilient, slight depression is commonly seen. Fracture is less likely to be seen
If you notice any of the signs , consult Pediatrician/Pediatric Surgeon at earliest
1. Excessive crying or excessive sleeping
2. Abnormal movements of the body which could be convulsion
3. Persistent Vomiting: 1 or 2 episode of vomiting is quite common in Pediatric Head injury and is not cause for concern.
4. Loss of consciousness
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
Best Regards
