my son is 3 months old. today i noticed a spot on the right side of his head that is mushy, kinda-watery-like. he's not acting weird or anything. the left side of his head is not like that. i'm just wondering what anyone might think this is?? i think i'm going to take him to the doctor's Monday.

He should have had a 'soft spot' on his head from birth that gets thicker over time. If this spot is new, then you should have Doc check on it.

There isn't anything to worry about since every baby has a soft spot and it is natural. If you worry too much then you should take him to a doctor. But just make sure not to touch the spot at all.

I wouldn't wait until Monday. I would get it checked out now. It could be serious like a fluid leak from the skull or an embelism of some kind or even a hernea in the skull. It doesn't sound good and it definitely doesn't sound like a birth mark.

When you are ever in doubt about anything pertaining to your baby, always go see your pediatrician. Babies almost always have some skin dyscrasias that will usually fade or go away as they grow up. It could just be a thin area of skin on your baby's head that will more than likely thicken up as he gains more fatty tissue. But good idea to go see the MD.

sounds like what my son had from birth. can't remember now what the doc called it. it wasn't anything to worry about...but without seeing what you're talking about...have it checked out to make yourself feel better. unless it is GROWING! waiting til Monday seems fine.
