Get rid of the misunderstanding: the baby’s skewed head not only affects the aesthetics, but also may adversely affect the normal growth and development, so it should be corrected in time. Most parents tend to put all the emphasis on eating, drinking, sleeping and weight gain, while neglecting the normal development of the skull. Some parents think that as long as the baby eats well and sleeps well, the skewed head is not a big problem, the skewed head is just unattractive and the girl will have hair to cover it up when she grows up. In fact, newborns, especially premature babies, have a rather soft skull that is not highly calcified, and their heads are easily deformed by external forces. The mother’s fetal position during pregnancy, multiple births, poor nutrition during pregnancy, the use of external forces during delivery, improper sleeping position after birth, and prolonged head fixation due to treatment may cause the baby’s head to be skewed. 3 ways to correct the shape of the baby’s head: 1, according to the baby’s looks to choose the right sleeping position Some babies have high cheekbones, if prone, later cheekbones will be higher, but the face becomes unattractive, so the baby to take the right and left side sleep is more appropriate. If the baby’s cheekbones are not too high, let the baby take more prone way, so that the cheekbones will be a little higher, become better-looking. 2, according to the baby’s nature to adjust the sleeping position General baby used to face the mother to sleep, also like to sleep on the light. If parents do not pay attention, over time, the baby facing the mother or the lamp side of the head and pillow will sleep flat. According to this characteristic, parents should always change the baby’s sleeping position, including waking up, not every day to sleep on the same side, but also to move the position of the lamp, the mother can also often switch positions with the baby to sleep. 3, the use of plastic helmets If the baby’s head deviation is very serious, you can choose plastic helmets. This helmet is similar to the structure of the helmet, the material is very light, according to the baby’s ideal head shape measurement production, so that the bumpy part no longer grows, and let the flat place have a larger growth space, through the helmet to apply different pressure on the various parts of the skull, resulting in different growth rates of the skull, the baby will be in accordance with this plastic helmet natural correction of head shape, but the amount of helmet must be guided by a doctor, the amount of head custom-made. Warm tip: After 3 months of life, the baby’s physical correction effect is not good, before the fontanelle bone gap is closed (18 months), the skull is still soft, this time have the opportunity to change the head shape. In most cases, as long as attention is paid to changing the sleeping position, it is possible to reverse the degree of skew, so it is recommended that mothers and fathers seize this best time.
