As mentioned before, I am a Mom with a child who has craniosynostosis..Please, make sure his head shape is okay..It's not shaped oddly at all, maybe at his forehead, the back of his head, or from the top..If any of these seem odd to you, get him to the ped asap!!!

You need to call the pediatrcian immediately and have it checked out. You may be missing it. It needs to stay open for a few more months to allow the brain to grow like it needs to. If it closes too prematurely, then surgery is done to re-open it. I've known 2 babies who had this done, one at 3 weeks, one at 2 months.

TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR it's not safe for the baby because the skull needs to have that open spot because the brain will grow and make terribel headaiche for the baby

You can't feel it at all?? If so you need to take him to a dr, his brain needs room to grow and if it dosn't have that room something bad could happen.
He could have something called Craniosynostosis
