Brief Answer:
This is not a cause of concern

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Thank you for uploading the image.
As his feeding pattern and his urination and motion are normal, I do not think this is of concern.
Nothing to worry about it.
Just make sure his pediatrician plots his head circumference in the chart.

This is very common in forceps delivery please.
