Question
Male, 1 Month Old Disease/Symptom: My baby has a hematoma on his head. Can he sleep on the side with the hematoma? Additional Question: The baby is almost half a month old now, and the bump on his head hasn’t disappeared. Now, his head sleeps unevenly from side to side.
Answer
The baby’s scalp hematoma is caused by compression during birth. Usually, it follows a self-absorption guideline. It is recommended that you still let it be. The baby will not be able to sleep and it will not cause the hematoma to rupture. This is a good question: that is, can he now sleep on the side of the hematoma? If there’s nothing serious, you can ask: It’s almost as big as an egg. Wishing your baby good health.
