After the baby is born, parents will find that there is a part of the baby's head that is very soft and will be accompanied by breathing agitation, which is the baby's brine gate. The closure time of the baby's fontanelle varies, and some babies may close their fontanelle later. So, what is the reason for the late closure time of the child's fontanelle?
If a baby has rickets, there will be problems with calcium metabolism and absorption in the body, which can lead to incomplete bone calcification and rickets, resulting in delayed closure of the brine gate. If a baby has dementia, it may be due to a lack of thyroid hormones or insufficient secretion, leading to the deposition of calcium, phosphorus, and other substances in the bones. Bone calcification can cause problems, leading to dementia and delayed closure of the thyroid gland.
Hydrocephalus is also one of the reasons for delayed closure of the brine gate. In addition, during pregnancy, the lack of nutrition in pregnant women can lead to poor calcification of the baby's skull after birth. At birth, the brine gate is relatively large, and even if calcium nutrition is in a normal state after birth, the closure of the brine gate is still much later than normal.
Late closure of the brine door requires going to the hospital for examination to determine the cause and actively seeking supplementary treatment. In daily life, it is important to expose babies to the sun frequently. When they can eat complementary foods, they can eat eggs, soy products, drink milk, etc. These can promote calcium absorption and help close the brine door.
