it doesnt acctually appear as a bump. i was rubbing his head to get him to sleep when i notice it. it feels like a bubble or a water blister of sone sort but its very soft and squishy
Brief Answer:
You are probably overreacting!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this precision.
I think you are overreacting to this. Soft parts on the skin are not uncommon and are not of any pathological significance because all the important structures in the head are enclosed inside the brain. Be calm and relaxed about this and all I recommend at this time is monitor only and not seek for any further aggressive medical attention.
I hope this helps. I wish you and your baby well. Keep me updated if you have any further worries!.
