Some mothers may find that the shape of their baby's head is not quite right after seeing their baby's hair. They couldn't notice it when they had hair before, but it became quite obvious after cutting it. Some people may think that the bulging bones on both sides of a baby's head are due to incorrect sleeping posture, causing someone to tilt their head. So, what is the truth? Let's take a look at the reasons for the bulging bones on both sides of a baby's head.
What is the reason for the bulging bones on both sides of the baby's head
1. Possible overlap of skull sutures in children. The human skull consists of six bones: one frontal bone, two parietal bones, two temporal bones, and one occipital bone. During fetal development, there are certain gaps between bones due to incomplete bone development. When the child is delivered, due to the compression of the birth canal, the gaps between the bones shrink and even bite tightly, which is conducive to the delivery of the fetus. As the baby's brain tissue grows and develops, it quickly returns to normal. When intracranial pressure increases, there is also a phenomenon of widening of bone sutures. The baby's brain can greatly shape the increase or decrease of brain pressure.
2. It is also possible that the bulging of the skull on both sides is caused by the baby's calcium deficiency.
3. It is also possible that the baby's forehead symptoms are a manifestation of a square skull, which is directly related to calcium deficiency rickets.
What should I do if the bones on both sides of the baby's head bulge
Choose different treatment methods based on different reasons.
1. If it is the first reason that causes the baby's bones to bulge on both sides, there is no need to worry or interfere. This is a normal situation, and generally it will gradually weaken and disappear as the baby grows older.
2. If the second situation is that the baby lacks calcium, it is necessary to supplement calcium for the baby. It is necessary to go to the hospital to check whether the baby's trace elements are missing. If so, calcium supplementation can be carried out.
3. The last suggestion is to go to the hospital for examination, and the doctor will adopt treatment methods according to the specific situation.
If mothers find that their babies have similar head conditions, the reasons are likely to be one of the three mentioned above. The first reason accounts for the majority because babies are not fully developed and many areas are still developing, so it is normal for them to be different from adults. Of course, there are also a few reasons for the latter two, and regardless of which one, the first step is to check in a timely manner.
