    I can see DD's heart beat on top of her head/fontanelle??

    My DD is 3 months old, last night she was sitting on my lap and on top of her head I could see her heart beating in between her fontanelles. Is this normal??? Totally freaked me out!

    I hope it's normal, coz I saw it on DS's head for a looooooong time LOL. You could see it move his hair! I havent seen it so much with DD tho.

    I wouldn't worry about it

    Lol!
    I freaked too.
    I never noticed it before DS & I had 2 before him!! I not once saw or noticed it on the girls, but I've seen it heaps of times on him.
    Honestly, it still spins me out!

    Ditto everyone else it is totally normal. I used to watch DS' doing that too - mesmorised and a bit freaked out at the same time lol

    *shudder*

    It freaks me out just thinking about it even though it's normal. When its particularly obvious (some days it's more obvious than others I find), I just stick a hat on!!

    My daughters head does it too, particularly when she gets excited!
