babies soft spot

my baby's front fontanel feels sunken in and i noticed 2 or 3 day's ago that he hasn't been eating well he struggles to suck his bottle and makes a lot of noise when he does suck i think it hurts him because he cries when he eats. I was reading about this and some people say that it could be a serious condition could somebody help me i'm really worried

I was just about to say the same at Vani...that's its probably Dehyration, especially if he isnt eating much. I would contact the drs. Good Luck!

Is his soft spot really sunked in or just a little. On my daughter I can feel a little spot but it's just very little. I read on yahoo that it could be dehydration. If you say he's not eating well that is a sign of sunken soft spot. This is very serious and from what I know babies cry a lot when they have that. You really need to take him to a doctor. I know my mom use to cure that on her own when that happened.
