    Sounds like a Sacral dimple? Can be an indicator of an issue but mostly no problem at all. My kids all have them, the first two were very shallow, the third a bit deeper.

    DD has one. It gets poop stuck in there, so we really had to be careful when she was little.
    But, I'm not too fussed about it.

    Can be a sign of spina bifida.
    Both my girls had them at that age. Both of theirs have flattened out. DD1's I did get checked out. DD2's was deeper but my Ob (a different one to DD1's) wasn't concerned.

    My DD had one at her 6 week check too. We got it checked out and it was nothing. It has flattened out as she has gotten bigger but still has the dimple ITMS.
