Newborns are not allowed to touch the top of their heads. Why?

Sleeping on the right side is better than sleeping on the left side, which will not oppress the heart and promote the transfer of food from the stomach to the duodenum. At birth, the head of a child lying on his side will become smaller, grow towards the forehead and back of the head, and grow vertically, and become more beautiful in adulthood. Generally speaking, the baby's head can't be touched, not because it will bring bad luck, but because the baby has just been born, and the various organs of the body have not fully developed, including the bones of the head, and are still in a relatively immature state. The front fontanel is rhombic, which is the largest intersection of the seams on the infant skull. The anterior fontanel has no bone mass and is slightly concave, which is softer than other parts of the head and feels a slight pulsation. Houfontanel is the junction of occipital bone and two parietal bones, which is small in size and sometimes even invisible.

The skull of a newborn is very different from that of an adult. First of all, the newborn skull is tough, not hard and easy to deform. This is the biggest feature of the newborn skull. In addition, the newborn skulls are underdeveloped, and the skulls are connected by bone seams, forming a front fontanel and a back fontanel. The main reason is that there is a soft place on the top of the newborn's head, and you will see the place where the arterioles are still beating. That place is called fontanel, which is a gap between several skulls and has not been closed yet. Some people's rough movements may cause hematoma, and touching is not recommended.

You can't touch children like this. You can't touch the baby's head. It has no bones and is as thin as a layer of paper. Xin Ma is dubious: The doctor says my baby is quite strong. Although it was a natural birth, its head was not deformed. At this time, Li Jie smiled: You don't understand this. This is called the fontanel, where the baby's skull is not closed.

Sleeping on the right side is better than sleeping on the left side, which will not oppress the heart and promote the transfer of food from the stomach to the duodenum. At birth, the head of a child lying on his side will become smaller, grow towards the forehead and back of the head, and grow vertically, and become more beautiful in adulthood. Parents can help the baby to change his sleeping position properly, and he can lie flat alternately left and right to avoid fixing his sleeping position, which can effectively prevent head deviation. However, don't blindly pursue "beautiful head shape" and interfere with your baby's sleep too much.
