Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? What should the head circumference of a two-month-old baby be?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, the head circumference of a two-month-old baby is 40.04 cm for boys and 39.04 cm for girls. It is necessary to increase nutrition and supplement vitamins and trace elements, and to provide meticulous care and attention.After the baby is born for 6 months, the anterior fontanelle gradually decreases in size as the cranial sutures ossify. By the age of 1 year, it closes at the latest by 18 months, being replaced by bone. The posterior fontanelle is located at the back of the baby's head, at the intersection of the suture between the occipital bone and the two parietal bones. It is smaller and sometimes cannot even be felt. The posterior fontanelle is almost closed at birth or can only accommodate a fingertip, and it closes approximately 2-4 months after birth.
