The doctor said this would probably go away as the skull shaped but it is still there. her ears and everything are normally positioned and she is starting to crawl and is very normal in every way. What is the round lump? it isn't huge, just different than the othe

Thanks for the querry.
The back of head lump which is hard is due to protruded occipit.
This some time suture line fusion site.
other casues can be a small occipital lymph node.
Advise is just ignore it when the baby will grow this will disappear with time due skull moulding and reshaping.Or you can use occipital soft ring or pillow for shaping occipital round shape.
