Question
What are the causes of birth injuries in newborns?
Answer
Birth injuries in newborns refer to the damage caused to the fetus or newborn during the delivery process due to mechanical factors. The main causes of such injuries include factors related to the baby, maternal factors, and in some cases, the influence of delivery techniques. Additionally, macrosomia, or large-for-date babies, is also an important cause of difficult deliveries. In general, if a baby’s head appears red, there is no need to worry too much; it will improve after a few days.
