Question
What causes a newborn’s prominent head bone? Is this a normal head shape?
Answer
A newborn’s prominent head bone may be due to a lack of calcium, and it is recommended that you take your baby to see a doctor for confirmation. If diagnosed with a calcium deficiency, treatment can be administered through the intake of cod liver oil drops, calcium gluconate oral liquid, or vitamin D3 injection. Additionally, getting plenty of sunlight can help the body synthesize calcium.
