It will close up as her bones develop... Visit a specialist hospital for proper guidance.

Sign of dehydration. Please give him water to drink everyday. Avoid giving him strong antibiotics to avoid stories that touches the heart. I am talking from experience.

Don't worry much it will come out.It compressed to allow the baby's head pass through the birth canal.Nothing is wrong with your baby.
Keep breastfeeding the baby and look out for dehydration.Some can stay as much as 2 years.
Congratulations

I thought it's normal with all kids undecided & it becomes stronger as they grows

That's why it's advisable not to cut their hair early.

Usually it closes up as your baby continues to grow... Nevertheless you should visit a doctor and ask questions

It's nothing to worry about. Most babies are born that way, and with time as they grow, it covers up.
However, in my village our parents used to have some native mixtures with native pomade to be rubbing on it for faster closure.

All in all, there's no cause for alarm.

I will say consult you mum or old people around you, instead of consulting a doctor. Doctors will even give it a name that will only scare you

I hope it's nothing serious. It probably is, but why not speak to a doctor about it?

I don't really understand this idea of bringing to NL what should clearly be discussed with a professional.

Your baby might be dehydrated, does he suck well? You should try giving the baby enough breast milk. However visit your paediatrician
