Why does my baby have a cone-shaped head? Will it go away? Is this normal?😱 . Your baby is experiencing molding! Molding is an asymmetrical head due to pressure exerted on the head in the birth canal! It is a very normal finding. Since the bones of the skull are not fused together at birth, they have the ability to shift as baby makes their way down the canal.🚣‍♂️ . A baby’s skull is made up of different bones with suture line separating these areas. A suture line is the connective tissue between the skull bones. If you touch a newborn’s skull you can actually feel along these suture lines, they feel like small gaps in between each of the large bones of the skull. Sometimes, these bones overlap along a suture line due to molding; this will feel like a small ridge.🏔 . Molding is more often seen with a vaginal birth than a Caesarean section birth. There may still be molding seen during a C-section, if a baby has started to makes its way down the birth canal already! Molding usually disappears within 72 hours after birth.🏃‍♀️ . If you want to take some pictures right after birth and you are intimidated by the cone-head look, pop a cute hat on your newborn and no one will know the difference! 😂👒 ——————————————————————————— #beforethebirth #thebump #teammotherly #postpartumjourney #preggolife #newmomlife #newmoms #motherly #postpartumhealth #postpartumlife #whattoexpect #labourinthetimeofcorona #birthart #dontstress #newborntips #babytips #newborn #newbornart #wtemoms #motherly #motherlyirl #molding #babyhead #babyinfo #cutebabys #babyhat #newparents #newparentslife #newparentsupport
