The consequences of pressing the baby's fontanelle

As a child grows up, many parts of his or her body should not be touched randomly, otherwise it will cause very important consequences. The fontanelle is a gap in the baby's skull caused by the loose connection of the skull bones. The closure of the fontanelle is affected by the ossification of the skull and the development of brain tissue. During the closing process, you must not press this area randomly. So, what are the consequences of pressing the baby's fontanelle? Let's take a closer look.

The fontanelle is relatively weak, and the brain tissue is under the scalp, so if the external force is too great, it may cause damage to the brain tissue. However, it does not necessarily mean that the person will not be able to speak. There is some truth in the saying that the person will not be able to speak if the fontanelle is pressed, but it is not absolute. Only when the external force damages the language center will it be possible to cause language disorders. Although the baby's fontanelle was pressed hard, I believe the force was not enough to cause damage to the brain tissue, so there is no need to go to the hospital for examination. The baby will not stop talking because of this, so you can rest assured.

Before the baby's anterior fontanelle is completely closed, it needs to be protected. As long as you don't use sharp objects to directly pierce the baby's anterior fontanelle or hit the baby's anterior fontanelle hard, it will generally not affect the baby's healthy development, so please don't worry. If the child is hit by a hard object, carefully observe whether the fontanelle is bleeding or bulging, as well as the child's mental state. If you find any problems, go to the hospital's pediatric department for examination in time.
