Child's forehead protrusion

Some children have very prominent foreheads, which causes many parents to feel very worried, and they are afraid that their children may have this condition due to medical reasons. In fact, generally speaking, it is normal for children to have a protruding forehead. Most of the time, it is not caused by pathological reasons, but may only be caused by genetics. If it does not particularly affect the appearance of your baby, there is no need to worry about it.

Therefore, the height of the baby's forehead is also related to genetics. Parents can first look at whether their own forehead is high, and then check whether the forehead of the previous generation was high.

Therefore, it is normal for a baby to have a high forehead. It is mostly due to genetic factors, not pathological diseases. There is even a saying among the people that children with high foreheads are smarter. But this statement is just for reference, it is not scientific.

There is also a saying that the baby's forehead is high due to calcium deficiency, but this is not necessarily the case. If you are really worried, it is recommended to take your baby to a local regular public hospital for a trace element test to see if it is calcium deficiency, rather than just listening to the doctor's words.

What to do if your baby has a high forehead

A high forehead is normal and is mainly related to genetics, so parents don't need to worry too much. Of course, if you find that you, your parents, and your relatives all have low foreheads, but your baby's forehead is relatively high, this may be abnormal. It is recommended that you get a check-up to see if it is due to a lack of nutrients or other reasons.

However, human development is inherently magical. Even if everyone in the family has a low forehead, the baby's forehead may be relatively high.

The skull of babies aged 3-6 months is soft. If you press the middle of the occipital bone or parietal bone with your fingers, the skull will collapse due to the pressure. However, as your fingers relax, the skull will bounce back like a ping-pong ball. When the baby is 8 or 9 months old, excessive bone-like tissue accumulates under the periosteum of the frontal bones and parietal bones on both sides, forming a square head. At this time, you will find that the baby's forehead has become higher, but in fact it has just become stronger.

In general, it is normal for a baby to have a high forehead, but it may also be caused by calcium deficiency or other reasons. If parents are really worried, they can go to the hospital for a check-up to see what the results are. It is recommended that you do not really think that it is a calcium deficiency when you hear it. Before the age of 2, the baby’s staple food is milk, and with the addition of complementary foods, it is generally not easy for the baby to be calcium deficient.

Parents should pay attention to the five factors that affect the growth and development of babies

Every parent pays close attention to the baby's growth and development. Parents should understand that according to genetics theory, human growth is affected by both internal genetics and external environment. Therefore, although the baby's growth and development is determined by genetics, it is also influenced by environmental conditions. Whether a baby's talents can be fully developed is restricted by environmental factors, so parents should pay attention to several major factors that affect the baby's growth and development in daily life.

1. Family and nutritional factors

This factor includes socioeconomic status, parental quality, appropriate education methods, family integrity and harmony, and whether sufficient, reasonably and balanced nutrition is provided for the baby's growth and development. If the nutrition is not enough or the dietary structure is unreasonable, it will cause the lack of certain substances that play an important role in the baby's growth and development, leading to delayed growth and development of the baby.
