Question
My baby is two months old, and there is a semi-circular bulge on the back of his head, with a concave area around it. Is this normal? The baby eats, sleeps well, and is in good spirits.
Answer
It could be an issue with the baby’s skull bones. Each baby has a unique skull structure. Moreover, within the first three to five months, the skull bones are malleable. The shape of the head can change through adjusting sleep positions during naps. In daily life, pay attention to rest and avoid overworking. If breastfeeding, it is recommended for mothers to have a light diet, consume fresh vegetables and fruits, and eat calcium-rich foods. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Enhance the baby’s personal hygiene by frequently bathing and changing clothes, and wear cotton underwear .
