Causes of baby's forehead protrusion

It is not easy for many parents to notice that their baby has a protruding forehead, which is mainly caused by calcium deficiency in the baby. When a baby is born, he or she will not change much, but as he or she grows up, he or she will develop some of his or her own physical characteristics. Today we will mainly introduce to you about the baby's protruding forehead. In fact, if a baby has this phenomenon, it is very likely due to the baby's genetic problems or the baby's face shape is relatively large. These are all very normal.

Infants aged 3 to 6 months may have skull softening, which means that when you press the center of the occipital bone or parietal bone with your fingers, the area will sink inward, but the skull will bounce back when you relax your fingers, just like pressing a ping-pong ball, so it is also called ping-pong head. In children over 6 months old, the distal ends of the long bones in the forearms and calves can be felt, and even ring-shaped protrusions formed by hypertrophic bones can be seen, resembling bracelets or anklets.

In infants over 8 or 9 months old, there is excessive accumulation of bone-like tissue under the periosteum of the frontal and parietal bones on both sides, which may form a square skull. Some children have delayed teething. Some ribs are sunken, causing the body of the sternum to protrude outward, forming a pigeon chest. If the xiphoid process of the sternum is sunken inward, it may form a funnel chest. When a child walks, his lower limbs bear the weight, and due to the softening of bones, he may develop O-shaped legs or X-shaped legs. In addition, the child's muscles are loose and the abdomen is bulging, often like a frog's belly.

If you are really worried, you can contact the local children's hospital. Generally speaking, it's no big deal.
