Patient's question:
I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Could a sunken fontanel affect a baby's intelligence?Doctor's answer:
It should not have a significant impact. It's not necessarily related to calcium supplementation during pregnancy. Regular check-ups afterward should be sufficient. Early closure of the fontanelle may not necessarily affect the baby's health. I hope you don't feel too much pressure. On the contrary, you can actively supplement calcium for the baby and enhance nutritional intake at this time. At around 2-3 months, the baby can be held upright. This is actually one of the indicators to assess whether the baby is calcium-deficient. Other signs, such as side-lying and self-soothing, are also important indicators of the baby's development. When holding the baby upright, make sure to support the neck with your hand to prevent cervical spine injury. You can also try holding the baby upside down, with the baby's back against your chest. Use one hand to support the hips and the other to wrap around the baby from the armpits. This way, the baby's vision can be broadened without causing cervical spine injury!
