Is The 10kg Weight Of A 5 Month Baby Normal?

My 5m old boys head seems to have a heart shaped bump at the back of his head so when i look at his face the very top of his head has this dip and its not his soft spot. He also has a wide but flat back of head - He is a big boy almost 10kg and 70cm long. I try not to have him on his back too often and put him on his side to sleep in the day now. I guess my question is - is this normal considering he has grown very quickly (he was just under 3kg when born)?

Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
It is definitely on the abnormal ( high ) side
You need to cut down his formula intake
Increase fruits and vegetables
Wishing your child speedy recovery
