Our baby is 6 months old. Before the third vaccination, DTP went to the doctor for an examination. She said that the big fontanel near the child was almost closed, and therefore, give him cottage cheese, yolk and vitamin D should not be until a year. Is this so and what is the early healing of the fontanelle? At birth, a small fontanel in the child was closed, large - 2 cm ultrasound of the brain did not reveal any pathology.
In order to decide on the expediency of excluding certain vitamins and foods from the baby's nutrition, you need to know the circumference of his head at birth and now. In the newborn, it averages 35 cm, by the end of the first month it increases to 37, to two - to 39, to three - to 40, to six - to 43, to nine - to 45, and by the year - to 46.5 cm Of course, these are average figures! In each specific case, individual fluctuations are possible, depending on which genes the child has inherited.
If the pope has a big head or, on the contrary, his mother is small, the child will continue the family tradition, will go to this in the parents. The main thing is that the circle of the child's head should be increased in accordance with the age standards.
If all this is happening , and there are no signs of an increase in intracranial pressure, there is nothing to worry about and there is no need to take any advice for the health of a young child. Such a child can and should even give and vitamin D, and cottage cheese, and yolk. The fact that the large fontanel was closed not to the year, as expected, but at 6 months - an individual variant of the age norm. By the way, the small fontanel of full-term babies in the ideal is not found, so your child in this plan was all right!
Excluding these foods from the ration of crumbs, you will not make the big fontanelle return to its original state, but it will be quite possible to provoke rickets and iron deficiency anemia.
Now if the fontanelle had disappeared in the first months of life, and the head of the crumb did not practically increase in size, preventing growth and development of the brain, then there would be cause for concern. In this case, neurologists diagnose "microcephaly" and begin to fight it in various ways, including introducing a ban on vitamin D and products that promote ossification of cartilaginous structures of the children's skull.
But if there is no such problem, then why be reinsured?
