Patient's question:
My baby is only one and a half months old and has been breastfed since birth. He is quite lively and adorable, and his health has been good so far. However, I noticed that his skull is a bit prominent, specifically above the forehead, where it looks like there's a ring. I don't know what's going on. Is it possible that the baby's head shape is just like this?What kind of help I need: I want to know what causes a newborn's skull to be prominent and whether it's serious.
Doctor's answer:
That's a calcium deficiency. When my son was five months old, he was the same. I asked the doctor, and it turned out to be a calcium deficiency. You should also see a doctor to confirm how the deficiency occurred before supplementing with calcium. Consider the calcium deficiency caused by. If necessary, have a trace element test for diagnosis. After diagnosis, develop a treatment plan. You can take pediatric fish oil drops and gluconate calcium oral solution, or take vitamin D and calcium chewable tablets for calcium treatment. If necessary, vitamin D3 injection treatment may be required. If there is digestive upset and nausea/vomiting, active treatment is needed to prevent interference with calcium absorption. Get more sun exposure. The above is advice on the question "What causes the soft skull of a newborn?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you health!
