What Is The Meaning Of Anterior Fontanelle Looking Curved Inwards For A 3 Month Old ?
my baby is 3 months old and her anterior fontanelle looks curved inwards, what could does it mean, she´s was crying for a while, she was laying down in my bed with me and I felt asleep... there is a gap between my bed and the wall and I always place a pillow in that gap...I woke up and my baby is right in there, head first-head over feet I do not know for how long...as I woke up scared to death I pulled her by her leg and she started crying for a while, I gave her a bottle she finished it and now she´s asleep...this happened 30 mins ago...should I run to the hospital.

No I dont think that is serious if the baby is feeding normally. Anterior fontanalle gets depressed in case of dehydration. So give her lots of fluids to drink. Dont worry as her body fluids are replaced the fontanalle will be normal again.
