After birth, the head circumference of a baby continues to grow and develop. If the size of the baby's head circumference does not meet the standard, there may be some abnormal manifestations, such as physical weakness and some may even experience symptoms of diarrhea. Moreover, these babies generally have small heads. After determining that the baby's head circumference is too small, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner to rule out the existence of disease factors. However, how to promote the growth of the baby's head circumference?
To promote the growth of baby's head circumference, parents should pay more attention to their baby's physical condition, keep warm regularly, avoid letting the baby catch a cold, and eat foods with high protein and calcium content, such as eggs, milk, and pork rib soup, which can help the baby's bone development. When they have time, they can also take the baby out and bask in the sun to promote calcium absorption, which can have a good effect on the growth of baby's head circumference.
A small head circumference in babies may be caused by organic diseases. It is best to go to the hospital for an MRI examination to see if there are any problems with the baby's mental development. Parents should spend more time with their babies, interact and play with them more, which can exercise the baby's intellectual development.
A baby's small head circumference may also be caused by genetics. If parents have a history of having a small head circumference, the baby is highly likely to be influenced by genetic factors, resulting in a smaller head circumference development compared to other children of the same age.
