How long does it take for the head to recover from the birth canal crush

The head shape of babies with birth canal compression usually recovers after about 3-6 months. The skull of the fetus is relatively soft, and the head of the fetus is squeezed inside the vagina during delivery, after coming out, the baby’s head shape may become relatively pointed or elongated, and this situation will be recovered with the gradual growth of the baby’s months, and usually the rounder head shape will be recovered in about 3 months, and the recovery of the skull shape of some babies is slower, and can be prolonged to about half a year. After birth, parents need to pay attention to the infant’s sleeping position, do not fix a sleeping position for a long time, and help the infant to adjust the sleeping position of the right side of the bed, the left side of the bed, or lying down will help the infant’s head shape recovery. In addition, the head shape of babies with birth canal extrusion usually does not affect the baby’s intelligence, so parents do not need to worry too much. Therefore, the head shape of babies with birth canal extrusion will recover slowly with the growth of months, and parents should take their babies to the hospital for pediatric health care regularly.
