What reason is fetal head flat

summary

Some parents found that their baby's head is flat, while others are big on one side and small on the other, which is very asymmetric. The reason why the baby's head is easy to deform is mainly related to his bone characteristics and sleeping posture. Fetal head flat is what reason to tell you.

What reason is fetal head flat

First, the bone in infancy is characterized by more organic matter and less inorganic matter, so its texture is soft and elastic. In addition, the growth and development of infants is particularly fast, especially the brain development is faster, and the weight of their head is relatively heavy. If parents do not pay attention to the baby's sleep posture, let the baby's head always sleep in one direction, the baby's head is easy to deform after a long time. If the baby always sleep to the left or right side, it will form a convex head, if the baby is used to supine, it will form a flat head. 　

Second: for flat head or convex head baby to take timely measures to correct, the younger the better, the best in 1 year old. The specific method is to let the baby with convex head lie on his back and use a hard pillow, so that the weight of the head itself can be used to gradually alleviate the situation of convex head. For the baby who is not easy to cooperate, sandbag fixation method can be used to correct the convex head or flat head. The method is: use the old cloth to make a 20 cm long and 10 cm wide cloth bag, which contains yellow sand and is bound with two layers of cloth to prevent sand leakage.

Third: flat head of the baby can let him sleep on the left or right side, with sandbags fixed in the pillow. If the baby with protruding head can let him lie on his back, two sandbags are put on both sides of the head to fix. With these methods, the head shape can be corrected step by step.
