Doctors/parents; What Could Be The Cause Of This In Babies? by UnconventionalT(op):
When I had my baby months ago, one of the first things I noticed was his chin dimples. It wasn't until much later that I realized that his fontanelle extends noticeably to his forehead forming a V shape, and my mum and some people insisted it was 'Oka Ori' as yoruba people would call it.
Luckily for me grin I saw that the popular nollywood actors son has the same thing which isn't quite common, or so I think.
I've tried reading some stuff on Google and I haven't found anything relating the extended fontanelle and chin dimple together.

I wonder if something happened in the middle of their head while they were in the womb, anyone has seen this before?
I'll post the picture and delete later if it's against the rule.

Nothing extraordinary. Just a dimple.

All I can see is a cute baby... The dimple on the forehead matters not to us!!!

Just tell us you want to show off your cute bbb so we can pop Champaign instead of worrying over nothing. Or, do you think this is affecting him negatively in any way?

Lol
I'm a curious first time mom. Some elderly people associate the forehead with lots of negativity, like it makes baby yawn unnecessarily, lack of sleep, makes baby underweight etc.
