In this way, children have 1 1 ~ 12 more bones than adults, that is to say, there are 2 17 ~ 2 18 bones.
Gü n mé n refers to whether there are four "skylights" covered with bones on the baby's head when he is born. The largest cranial fontanel is prismatic, called anterior fontanel (frontal fontanel). This is what we often say. The backrest (pillow) is triangular. In addition, there are anterolateral fontanel (butterfly fontanel) and posterolateral fontanel (mastoid fontanel).
Generally, the posterior fontanelle begins at 2 months after birth and closes at 4 months. The anterior fontanel began to ossify after 6 months and closed at the latest at 1 year and a half.
Points for attention in fontanel nursing fontanel nursing is mainly aimed at the front fontanel, because this part is large in area and takes a long time, and it is more prone to nursing problems.
Fontanel bulge
The front fontanelle bulges and feels tight with your hands. If it is accompanied by fever, vomiting or even convulsions, it means that intracranial pressure is increased, and it is necessary to seek medical treatment immediately to eliminate abnormal conditions such as intracranial infection and effusion.
Genmen sag
If the front fontanel collapses, the main reason is the lack of water in the body. Need to consider whether the child has loose bowels and whether he is not drinking enough water. If the child is thin, there may be malnutrition.
How to do home care is to avoid external pressure and reduce contact with fontanel. I remember when our child was a child, he was afraid to wash the scalp in the front area, so that he got a lot of dirty pimples, and then he got wet with sesame oil bit by bit.
In fact, it can be rubbed very smoothly and gently, without pressure or scraping.
When you go out in winter, you must wear a thick hat to keep your fontanel warm. Summer is the same. Avoid direct sunlight.
