Patient's question:
The baby is two months old. There's a triangular depression on the back of the head, surrounded by bone. Is this the fontanelle? When holding the baby to feed, I often accidentally touch it (through a thin blanket with my hand). Will this have any impact? Besides the baby sleeping well recently (still eating milk), she sleeps for about 20 hours a day, with each nap lasting over two hours. Sometimes she also vomits slightly. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
There is a concave area on the back of the head, which may be related to the soft spot. Generally, it closes within 1-2 months after birth. If it doesn't close, it is recommended to supplement with calcium!Suggestion: Focus on digesting fish oil and calcium, and get more sun exposure!
It is normal for the baby to sleep for long periods now. The occasional vomiting may be related to the baby's underdeveloped stomach and esophagus, so there is no need to worry!
The above advice is for the question "What is the reason for the triangular depression on the back of the baby's head at 2 months?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
