This looks like a scalp hematoma after fall. It can increase in size and become firm over few days, that is common.
But since it is increasing day by day, better to get the baby examined once to rule out deeper injury.
If baby is active, feeding well, no vomiting, no excessive sleepiness → reassuring.
Still, I would advise one clinical check ± ultrasound for safety.

Greetings
growing, hardening bump after a head injury in an infant requires immediate medical evaluation to rule out serious issues like a skull fracture or an enlarging hematoma. Potential causes for such a bump include a cephalohematoma (a collection of blood under the scalp), a subgaleal hemorrhage, or a simple hematoma" that is calcifying as it heals. Seek emergency care immediately if the baby shows signs like unusual sleepiness, repeated vomiting, or any change in normal behavior.
