What should I do if my newborn baby has an uneven face?

When newborns are just born, do you think that everyone looks the same? In fact, they all need to grow slowly. We should spend more energy to take care of newborns in our lives. However, sometimes the baby’s face will be different in size due to the child’s sleeping posture or pillow. Next, let me introduce the different sizes of newborn faces in detail.

There are several situations in which the baby's face may be different in size: 1. Malformation of facial muscles and bones: X-rays show skeletal abnormalities and asymmetry on both sides. 2. Cerebral palsy: often accompanied by decreased motor ability, such as delayed head raising. 3. Normal situation: caused by pressure inside the body, it can return to normal after a few months without other abnormalities. If the difference is not obvious, it may be caused by improper sleeping position. It is recommended to change the baby's sleeping position frequently.

It is recommended that the baby go to the hospital for examination first to rule out the possibility of disease factors. If this has been ruled out, you can sleep on your side, but be careful to change the direction. The plasticity of a baby's skull is great, and generally babies with uneven faces tend to have flat heads. As the baby grows older, the bones gradually calcify and the skull gradually becomes hard. As the child grows and develops, the face and the back of the head that is flat when sleeping will return to their normal shape. So pay attention to the following points: 1. Do not sleep on a hard pit. 2. Put a pillow under your head, 3 cm high and shoulder-level wide. The pillow should not be too soft and should be sweat-absorbent and breathable. The outside should be made of pure cotton soft cloth, and the inside can be filled with buckwheat, kapok, etc. 3. Sleep on your back, side, and stomach alternately.

If there are no other symptoms, I think it is caused by the baby's incorrect sleeping posture. If the baby's head often tilts to one side when sleeping, it is easy for one side of the face to be larger than the other. The right side of your face is bigger because you sleep too much on your left side. It can be corrected in a short time by adjusting your sleeping position. Under normal circumstances, let the baby sleep on the left side, right side, or lying flat, alternating this cycle every 3 days. In this way, the baby's head will be very beautiful. The brain contour of babies under 1 year old is in the development stage and must be carefully cared for. This is related to the baby's life. Parents must pay more attention to it and prevent the baby from sleeping with a crooked head, a flat head, or a side face.

In fact, newborns with different-sized faces often appear in life, so parents must pay more attention and be serious when taking care of infants and young children, and treat their children as treasures. Secondly, if you are a novice and don’t know how to take care of a child, you can ask the doctor for his or her opinion during the examination.
