It looks like your little one may have food refusal, struggling to take anything but breast milk. This could stem from sensory sensitivity, teething pain, or pickiness.

Should I worry if my baby lacks a soft spot on his head?
Hi, my baby was born without the soft spot on his head should I be concerned?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 28th June '24
Babies often arrive without the soft spot called a fontanelle. This happens when head bones join early before birth. Generally, it's fine, as long as the baby grows well. Though you'll want to mention it to your pediatrician. They can check that development is on track. If any issues arise, the doctor will advise next steps.
