The baby has a depression on the back of his head

Many children will encounter various problems as they grow up. ;For new parents, they will be in a panic whenever they encounter problems. When mothers find that there is a depression on the back of their baby's head when they are one month old, they will be very worried. I am afraid that this situation will affect the baby's development and growth. So, what exactly causes the depression on the back of the baby's head after one month?

1. There are anterior and posterior fontanelles on the baby's head. The anterior fontanelle is a diamond-shaped boneless space formed between the front skull and the left and right skull bones, and the posterior fontanelle is a triangular boneless space at the back of the head. If you press lightly with your hand, both places will feel soft. The anterior fontanelle usually takes one and a half years to close completely, while the posterior fontanelle closes faster, usually in just 2 or 3 months. If your baby's fontanelle has not closed after 6 and a half months, a small pit that has not grown well will appear. This may be a sign of calcium deficiency and calcium supplementation is needed in time.

2. The reason why a baby's head is easily deformed is mainly related to his bone characteristics and sleeping posture. The characteristic of bones in infancy is that they contain more organic matter and less inorganic matter, so they are soft and elastic. In addition, babies grow and develop very quickly, especially their brains develop faster, so their heads are relatively heavy. If parents do not pay attention to the baby's sleeping posture and let the baby's head always sleep in one direction, the baby's head will easily become deformed over time. If the baby always sleeps on the left or right side, he will develop a convex head. If the baby is used to sleeping on his back, he will develop a flat head. To prevent the occurrence of bad head shapes such as flat head, it is necessary to use pillows reasonably and consciously let the baby sleep in various postures.

It can cause muscle contraction headaches, also known as tension headaches, or neural headaches, which are intermittent or continuous headaches. They are often caused by work stress, fatigue, writing, reading, incorrect computer working posture, etc., which cause continuous contraction of the head or neck muscles and produce headaches. Occipital pain is also the result of spasm of the muscles in the back of the neck. The headache is characterized by a feeling of heaviness, tightness or stuffiness, and the mind often feels unclear. The headache is usually mild in the morning and worsens in the afternoon and evening. It can be triggered or aggravated by anxiety or tension.
