Hi
Welcome to the HCM

I have gone through your question and understand your concerns but don't worry. Human beings vertebral column is made up of multiple spinal bones. The lower most is named as coccyx. Since the number are variable, it can be felt as bony prominence in between buttucks. Infact, it's a remnant of tail which was present in our mammalian ancestors.

So, don't worry. The finding in your child is perfectly fine if it's not bothering him. Ignore it.

Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.

Take care.
