I accidentally pressed the soft spot on my 40 days old baby's head. Should I be worried?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• Just pressing the soft spot on the baby's head would not cause any major problem. It is just an opening in the head bones.

• Baby's feel discomfort during handling, hence they cry. But be careful to notice if any excessive and inconsolable cry occurs.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• If your child is consolable, then it is absolutely fine. Frequent waking up and becoming irritated and fussy could be possibly due to a stiff nose.

• I suggest using nasal saline drops twenty minutes before feeding and do proper burping after giving feed for at least fifteen to twenty minutes.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• It is a commonly asked complaint from parents. Both the conditions are not related. So, continue breastfeeding and keep your baby warm.

Thank you and have a nice day.
