What Causes Soft Spot On Head After Hitting It?
I was trying to rearrange my 4 week old daughter in her car seat today. I was trying to adjust her so her head was straight up and down. I accidentally pushed on her soft spot on her head. She cries for just a second or two and then was fine. I just don t know how worried I should be...I feel absolutely horrible as I never want to hurt her!
