Yesterday my 3 month old baby's head looked normal. Today i noticed that his soft spot area is significantly pressed in. Does anyone know what could have caused this?

He could be dehydrated. You should call his doctor or take him to the hospital. Now!

This soft spot on the top of the baby's head is normal but should not be 'significantly pressed' in from one day to the next. Could be dehydration and needs to be addressed ASAP, preferably in a hospital ER.

Dehydration. Call the doctor to make sure. But I think I read somewhere...if you see that soft spot sucked in like that, the baby is dehydrated. Need fluids, maybe an IV if it's really bad. CALL DOC to be safe.

Something could have pressed down on it, but just to be on the safe side i would take him to the doctor.
