What to do if forehead is too prominent

The appearance of the head is basically fixed six months after birth. Due to the closure of the fontanelle, the head shape is also basically fixed. A person's appearance is not subject to personal will, so it can be improved through acquired modifications such as hairstyle and makeup. However, during the neonatal development period, mothers can improve the protruding forehead of their children through some daily attention. This article introduces the causes and treatment methods of protruding forehead. Let’s take a look.

Some babies have flat foreheads, but some babies have large foreheads that protrude outwards. This phenomenon causes many parents to worry, and they don’t know what to do. Why does the baby's forehead tend to protrude? This is actually because the baby lacks calcium. During the development process, babies need more calcium. If it is not supplemented in time, it will cause phenomena such as protruding forehead and square head.

The consequences of calcium deficiency in babies:

The development process of an infant is very long, and the infant may have skull softening, which means that when you press the center of the occipital bone or parietal bone with your fingers, the area will sink inward, but when you relax your fingers, the skull will bounce back, just like pressing a ping-pong ball, so it is also called a ping-pong head. In children over 6 months old, the distal ends of the long bones in the forearms and calves can be felt, and even ring-shaped protrusions formed by hypertrophic bones can be seen, resembling bracelets or anklets. In infants over 8 or 9 months old, there is excessive accumulation of bone-like tissue under the periosteum of the frontal and parietal bones on both sides, which may form a square skull. Some children have delayed teething. Some ribs are sunken, causing the body of the sternum to protrude outward, forming a pigeon chest. If the xiphoid process of the sternum is sunken inward, it may form a funnel chest. When a child walks, his lower limbs bear the weight, and due to the softening of bones, he may develop O-shaped legs or X-shaped legs. In addition, the child's muscles are loose and the abdomen is bulging, often like a frog's belly.

What should I do if my baby has a protruding forehead?

1. Parents will be very worried if their baby has a protruding forehead. In fact, the child is somewhat calcium deficient. You can get more sun.

2. Feed your baby more boiled water at moderate temperature.

3. Don’t always keep your baby at home

4. The baby will grow up healthily

Precautions

Children are the apple of their parents' eyes, but parents should not look at their children through a magnifying glass.

These phenomena are all normal stages of infancy and are common to most children.
