During the process of a baby's growth, there will be corresponding changes in the forehead, with a slight twist gradually appearing in front of the forehead, and some even having two twists. Some parents believe that having a twist in front of the forehead means something bad, so they may worry and want to correct it. So, what should be done with a baby's forehead twist? Let's learn about it together.
This situation does not need to be dealt with directly, as the baby's frontal rotation is normal and is related to their genetic makeup. Just observe if there are any other deformities in the baby's head, and try to avoid letting the baby sleep on their side or in the same position for a long time.
Under normal circumstances, the plasticity of a baby's head is significant. It is recommended that parents try to tilt their baby's head to the left and right, or switch sides when sleeping, within one and a half years after birth. Because babies sleep for a long time every day, maintaining the same position while sleeping can cause deformation of their head bones.
In addition, when breastfeeding the baby, the mother should hold the baby's body with one hand and gently stroke the sleeping area with the other hand. This can relieve local skin pressure on the baby's head and alleviate blockages in the peripheral circulation, which is also beneficial for the baby's head development. However, it is important to note that prolonged touching of the baby's head can easily cause skull injuries.
