The baby who is close to it sooner or later is worrying

Your baby's capillary too soon will limit the development of the brain, affecting their intelligence. Late closing of the fontanel may be a sign of abnormal rickets, malnutrition or brain. Therefore, mothers should pay close attention to changes in the head of the head to have appropriate care methods.

What is head nodding?

The top of the head of the child has a completely unbroken bone called the head or head of the head. Many people think the head has only one part, but it actually has two parts.The front part is rhombic, the gap between the frontal bone and the top of the head bone. The back part is triangular, the gap between the top of the head and occipital bone.

While the fontanel is almost closed after the baby is born (if the rest is only very small like the tip of a nail and after 4 months of birth, it is almost completely closed) then the front font is undergoing a continuous change process. . Infants with an average fontanel of 2.1 cm, ranging from 0.6 to 3.6 cm. Especially with premature or term babies, the head is similar.

The child's fontanelle, although only occupies a very small area, may reflect the state of the body. Many diseases in children cause fontanel, so the physician considers it as a "window" through which to look and identify the child's illness, and if we look at it through the The change of the fontanelle can identify the child's disease.

Time closed

In normal times, when the baby is born, the frontal font is 2.5 x 2.5 cm in size (the middle line of the opposite sides). 2-3 months after birth, the fontanel will widen according to the increase of the head circumference of the child, then gradually shrink, the month 12-18 will close. The capillary after birth is nearly closed or very small with the tip of the nail, at least 4 months after birth is closed.

Be alert when closing early or late

The fontanel (usually just the frontal fontanel) closes sooner or later, reflecting whether or not the process of normalizing the head bone of a child is normal. Closing too early or too late is a manifestation of illness.

Close early

If the young fontanel closes too early, it may be a small brain, or bone that is too early , limiting the growth of the brain. Therefore, young minds will also be affected at different levels.

It is said that the fontanel closed too early often due to congenital deficiency or due to pregnancy, women often produce X-ray rays; It is also possible that after brain inflammation, the brain stops developing and causes.

The front concave may be a lack of water

The crow closed late

On the other hand, if the fontanel and the bone slit are not closed and widened according to the age of the child, it is also an unusual phenomenon, showing that the bone is slowing down due to poor thyroid function, due to rickets and malnutrition. Nursing, or other, enlarged brain often causes. There are some people who think that their heads are big and wide, which is a sign of smart children. It is an enlightened perception, when you see your head is big, you have to be wide and wide and be alert.

One year old, the fontanel can be completely closed.

How to observe the state and properties of the fontanel

Ordinary capsules are flat and heaving according to the pulse of the heart. Using the tip of your finger to touch it, it feels soft and empty. If the anterior fontanelle becomes full, even inflated, it indicates that the pressure in the head is elevated (called an increase in intracranial pressure), much seen in diseases such as cerebral hemorrhage, meningitis, hydrocephalus . When the baby cries, the fontanel also emerges. Therefore, when distinguishing the fontanel is full, it is necessary to take a normal palpable fontanel case when the child is calm to do the standard.

The frontal concave can be seen in children with dehydration due to vomiting, diarrhea and severe malnutrition.

Note : Each time the baby cries, the fontanel still sticks out. This is a normal situation, parents should not worry.
