Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby is two months old. There is a semicircular bulge at the back of the head, with a concave area around it. Is this normal? The baby can eat and sleep well, and is in good spirits.Doctor's answer:
It could be a skeletal issue with the baby's skull. Each baby's skull is different. Moreover, the baby's head bones can be molded within the first three to five months. The head shape can be altered by changing the sleeping position during naps. Pay attention to rest in daily life and avoid overworking. If the baby is breastfed, it is recommended that the mother follow a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and consume calcium-rich foods. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Enhance the baby's personal hygiene, bathe frequently, and change into clean clothes often. Wear 100% cotton underwear.
