Causes of baby's fontanelle twitching

For a newborn, many parents will find out why the fontanelle of the baby is jumping. There is a place in the middle of the baby's head. That place has not yet fully grown, and it will jump to varying degrees. Moreover, it is so soft that people dare not touch it. In fact, this is a normal physiological phenomenon. So what is the cause, and how should we deal with it in normal times?

Second, the doctor should have checked the fontanelle of the baby during the physical examination. My baby's fontanelle was a little closed when he was 3 months old. But the increase in the baby's head circumference was normal, so it was fine. My baby's fontanelle was not seen jumping after he was born. You should go to the doctor to check it out.

The following is information about premature closure of fontanelles for your reference. I wish your baby good health!

For infants with prematurely closed fontanelles, their head circumference should be measured (generally, the head circumference is about 32-34 cm at birth, about 42 cm at 6 months, about 46 cm at 1 year old, and about 48 cm at 2 years old). If the head circumference develops normally and does not affect the development of intelligence, parents do not need to worry. If the head circumference is too small, premature closure of the fontanelle may be caused by underdeveloped or slow brain development, which may be microcephaly or incomplete brain development.

At present, some parents believe that the fontanelle closes at 6 to 10 months, which means that the calcium is sufficient and there is no need to supplement it. If the child continues to take calcium powder, the head circumference will not grow and the brain development will also be restricted. In fact, the closure of the fontanelle does not mean that the growth of head circumference has stopped. The growth of head circumference will not stop until the age of 13 to 15 years old.

In fact, it is very normal for many babies to have a throbbing fontanelle when they are still young, but when the child is about one year old, it will gradually close and begin to become stronger and stronger. During this process, the child should be given calcium supplements to prevent the child from being unable to close due to calcium deficiency.
