Question
What Are the Dangers of a Baby Bumping Their Fontanelle?
Answer
Generally, bumping a baby’s fontanelle does not affect intelligence. However, it is important to observe for any abnormal reactions, such as restlessness or seizures. If there are no obvious symptoms, close observation is sufficient. In case of severe symptoms, immediate medical attention and a brain scan should be sought to rule out the possibility of intracranial hemorrhage. Based on the situation you provided, the baby just cried softly and then calmed down, so it is recommended to continue observing. Generally speaking, there is little to no impact on intelligence.
