Can the baby come back "round" after losing his head?
If the problem of head deviation is not very serious, then the baby's head can be "round"
In medicine, about 45% of babies within 2 months will have head tilt problems. However, parents should not worry too much, because when the baby can turn over, sit and walk, the problem of head deviation will not be so obvious.
Therefore, most babies' head tilt problems will gradually "round" with the passage of time!
However, if you want to make your baby's head more round and beautiful, you need to make artificial corrections.
And the prime time to correct the baby's head shape is:? In two months!
For babies less than 2 months old, the head shape is the best plastic surgery, and 1 year old is also plastic surgery, but the effect will be worse.
As the saying goes, "the most important thing is within two months." If it is adjusted within three months, the fontanel will be closed for life. 」
Therefore, when the baby is one to one and a half years old, the head shape can still be preserved before the fontanel is closed. On the other hand, there is nothing to do.
Learn these methods.
Let the baby sleep a good-looking head shape!
1 transposition method
Because of in our nature, the baby can't help turning his head to his mother's side, so Ma Bao should pay attention to changing the direction when nursing or holding the baby.
When feeding, it is best to turn in the opposite direction when the baby is asleep, so that after getting into the habit, the baby will sleep in the opposite direction.
Repeated adjustment for half a month can improve the problem of baby's big flat head and partial head. In other words, the baby likes to sleep to the left, so tilt his/her head to the right when nursing.
Because the first two months are the key period for the baby to shape his head. Therefore, from the first day of the baby's birth, parents should always change their postures and take turns sleeping on the left and right sides in a balanced way to keep the stress on both sides of the baby's head uniform.
2 towel correction method
Some babies are used to nature. Even if Ma Bao sleeps in the opposite direction, the baby will involuntarily tilt to the side of the head for a period of time, so parents can put a towel on the side of the baby's head that loves to tilt, and let the baby adjust and correct the direction by himself.
In other words, if the baby likes to lean to the left, parents can put a towel under the baby's left brain and try to let the baby sleep to the right.
At the same time, Ma Bao should sleep on the baby's right side at night and let her adjust slowly.
3 massage therapy
Parents can massage the baby's neck moderately according to the direction of the baby's head to reduce the pressure on his neck.
After a long time, it will have a good effect. For example, if the baby's head is used to leaning to the right, massage his right neck.
4 game lure method
Babies of 7 or 8 months can also correct the problem of habitual direction by moving their heads.
For example, when a baby is playing games with his parents, parents can deliberately sleep in the opposite direction to attract his attention.
He likes to sleep to the left, so you should attract him to turn his head to the right, and of course, don't just turn it in one direction.
Of course, not all hairstyles can be corrected by your baby mom and dad. In the following situation, if parents encounter it, they should take the baby to the hospital quickly.
Don't be careless about this deviation.
Surgery as soon as possible is the "king"
Not all strange head types are normal, such as boat-shaped head and triangular head, which are particularly strange and need to be treated as soon as possible to eliminate the disease.
This head shape may be due to premature closure of fontanel, which limits the development of baby's brain tissue and causes skull deformation.
If it is severely deformed, it will also cause children's orbital deformation, leading to brain dysplasia and mental, intellectual and motor disorders.
Therefore, once the baby's head shape is found to have obvious strange changes, you must seek medical attention within 1 year.
When it comes to correcting the head shape, many parents will try to put some books under the baby's head or use a stereotyped pillow to help the baby correct the head shape.
The above methods are not only helpful for the baby's poor sleep, but also affect the normal development of the baby's cervical spine and spine. Moreover, the shaping pillow also has a fatal danger-it is easy to suffocate!
The shaping pillow limits the baby's ability to turn over and turn his head to a certain extent. Once the nose and mouth are covered, it is very likely to cause safety problems such as suffocation.
Therefore, if you want to help your baby sleep well, you must change your baby's sleeping position and feeding direction.
