A triangle is on the back of the baby's head

Patient's question:

Hello, why is there a prominent triangular shape at the back of a five-month-old baby's head?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the condition of your child is normal, related to cranial development. It is common for babies to exhibit this after the posterior fontanelle closes. Therefore, there is no need to worry. As long as you provide your child with appropriate calcium supplementation to prevent rickets, it will be fine. The triangular shape at the back of the head is a normal condition and requires no special treatment. The baby will gradually grow out of it.
