Fontanel is that "target" of baby's health and wellness. what circumstance do you need to see a doctor?

There is a soft place on the top of the newborn baby's head. There is no skull there, and if you look closely, you can find that it will fluctuate slightly with breathing. Old people usually tell young parents that it's called "halogen door" and they can't touch it casually, otherwise the baby will become stupid.

Therefore, parents who have little knowledge will only take care of them, but they don't know that the halogen door is still the "indicator" of the baby's development and health.

A few days ago, my best friend Wenwen made a joke in the hospital. Wenwen's son is five months old. On that day, she took her son to the hospital for routine examination.

After the doctor asked about the basic situation, he reached out his hand to the child's head. When he saw it, Wenwen was shocked and grabbed the doctor.

The doctor was puzzled: "What are you doing?"

Wen Wen was embarrassed: "Nothing ... Nothing ..." She was embarrassed to say that it was a subconscious action.

Since knowing that children can't touch the halogen door, she will stop anyone who tries to touch their son's head.

Upon seeing this, the doctor continued his action. He put his hand on the child's halogen door and pressed it hard. Wenwen instantly changed her face, pushed the doctor away and held her son in her arms.

The doctor froze, and the little nurse beside him couldn't look past: "What do you mean, lady?"

Wen Wen is very angry: "How can he press it hard? What if the child is broken?"

The little nurse was speechless: "Why did Dr. Zhang exert himself? We are a professional technique, and we can judge the physical condition of your child through the halogen door! "

Wenwen calmed down, remembered her rude behavior just now, and apologized to the doctor with regret.

In fact, I know that most parents, like Wenwen, have only a little knowledge of halogen door. Although I know its importance, I don't know that I can judge my baby's health through it.

So here today, I'm going to give you some specific knowledge about halogen gate.

what is a halogen door?

After the baby is born, the skulls can't be tightly combined, and the gap between the skulls is the "halogen door".

there are two places in the halogen gate 1 * * *, one is above the head, which is called the "front halogen gate", and it is also the place that people and doctors attach the most importance to. The other is on the shoulder pillow, which is small in area and closed early, so it is called "back halogen door".

Because the closure of halogen door is influenced by the development of brain tissue and skull, it has also become a major sign reflecting the baby's development and health.

If parents can learn to distinguish, they can find out whether there is a problem during the baby's growth. What should parents pay attention to when something happens? ?

1. The halogen door is swollen

Under normal circumstances, the halogen door is slightly sunken. If the baby's halogen door suddenly swells or bulges one day, parents should be alert.

This means that the baby's brain pressure is increasing, which may be due to shock. But at the same time, it is accompanied by fever, vomiting, etc., and you must seek medical attention immediately. This must be a pathological problem.

2. growth of halogen gate

halogen gate gradually becomes smaller with age until it is completely closed. However, if you find that the baby's halogen door is not getting smaller, but there is a growing trend, you must be vigilant. This means that children may have hydrocephalus and rickets, so they should be diagnosed as soon as possible.

3. The halogen door is sunken

Parents must know the normal shape of the baby's halogen door. If the baby's halogen door becomes sunken seriously one day, it means that the baby is probably caused by lack of water. At this time, just solve the baby's water shortage problem as soon as possible, find the cause and replenish water in time.

4. The closing time of halogen door

Some babies are early and some are late, which varies from person to person. However, if it is earlier than 6 months or later than 18 months, it is an abnormal situation, and it is best to check it.

In short, it is suggested that parents should keep these changes in mind, and it will be easier to master the baby's healthy development.

in addition, it is important to learn to observe, and how to protect it is also necessary to learn, so as to better protect the baby.

how to care for the baby's halogen door?

1. When the halogen door is not closed, it is very fragile here, so we must pay attention to daily protection. Don't let it be bumped, pressed, or touched with your hands.

2. As we all know, sunbathing is a good way to solve neonatal jaundice. However, it should be noted that the halogen door should not be exposed to the sun, which may easily lead to heatstroke. It is best to cover your head with a hat or headscarf.

3. It's cold in winter. Although we will keep the baby warm before going out, it's better not to shave the baby's head at this time just in case. We can leave some hair at the halogen door, which is also a kind of protection.

4. After the baby is born, there will be many scabs on his head, including halogen door. Therefore, when we clean up, we must gently knead, don't dig with our hands, and don't use irritating cleaning supplies. You can gently wipe it with gauze dipped in warm water, and just wipe it a few times.

neonatal care is really not an easy task. Parents need to know more and learn more. If there is anything unusual in the baby's development, don't hesitate to send it to a doctor as soon as possible, and be sure to nip the danger in the bud.
