Sometimes a newborn’s head is molded unevenly while passing through the birth canal. Babies are born with soft areas on their heads called fontanels. The skull bones in the soft spots haven’t yet grown together. The soft spots allow a baby’s relatively large head to move through the narrow birth canal.
Moreover, why does my baby skull feel bumpy?
A misshapen head can be a result of a prolonged birth, cramped quarters in the mother’s womb for twins or triplets, or birth complications. Flat spots or unevenness can also result from newborn babies resting their heads in the same position — called positional plagiocephaly.
In this manner, how I knew my child had a brain tumor?
Some of the more common symptoms of a brain tumor in children include: Headaches, which may become more frequent and more severe. Feeling of increased pressure in the head. Unexplained nausea or vomiting.
