Question
My child is 6 months old and one side of their face is larger than the other. How should I handle this?
Answer
This situation may be due to an imbalance in feeding, such as always sleeping on the same side. Generally speaking, the bones on both sides of the face are not completely equal in size, so some differences are normal. However, if the gap is indeed too large, it may be necessary to consider that there is a significant difference in the growth of the bones on both sides. You can gently touch your child’s cheeks on both sides to confirm the size of the bones. If the difference is not significant, you can consider paying attention to your child’s sleeping position in the future, allowing them to sleep on the smaller side.
