It think it will disappear with time all new babes have holes up there,it's seems not only Nigerians are on NL the baby is white and obviously not a Nigerian..

Do you know what File Photos mean?

HEBEI:
Don't panic. Go and see a doctor.

I wish your baby quick recovery.

Amen. Thanks so much

Beremx:
Sign of dehydration. Please give him water to drink everyday. Avoid giving him strong antibiotics to avoid stories that touches the heart. I am talking from experience.

Not water, mother should breastfeed exclusively. Whenever the child is hungry, put to breast. If breastfeeding is too painful,she should get a breast milk pump and use cup and spoon.

Water will worsen the whole thing, breast milk is 90% water. Giving more water will be making the child hungrier

Haakeem:
rubbish...which deyhration? Kai Nigeria women won't seize to suprise you.... imagine!

Dehydration

Yoruba myths will tell u that the baby is breathing from the head at the early stage and that once it disappear the heart has started working...its a normal thing in babies no cause for alarm...

Shokoloko:


Of course. All my kids started drinking water from day two BUT IN SMALL QUANTITIES.

Noted ma. Thanks so much ma.

If you do not know what to do you are not fit to be a parent

Doctors in the house please I need your advice. Is it a problem I should be very worried about or would it close in no time. Please help

is it not normal for all new born babes? Abi I'm missing something

It's not supposed to be that deep. Maybe someone is pressing it. Take your child to see a paediatrician not nairaland audio doctors.

Mgbawa isi. I can make the drugs

Please, do NOT rub ANYTHING on it cos it's normal in some babies and it will eventually close up by itself. Kindly ignore some comments here cos it's a sensitive issue, you can consult your baby pediatrician for more details.

Don't worry as the baby grows it will close up. Is the baby feeding well, is the baby crying all the time and showing any sign of pain? I will suggest that you see a doctor if you are so worried about it or visit these alagbo women as there are local preparations for this. Also I know that mothers use one liquid called bluebird on it, they apply it. Meet those women who deal in baby things and explain yourself to them. You will be given what to use. All my 3 kids had this when they were all young and my wife used bluebird spirit on them they all got better. Sorry for your worries young mom

Please do not say that.

Nobody is born with parental knowledge

We learn on the job

The OP is a very wise young lady, because even if one knows the right thing to do, as long as it concerns a human child you have to confirm that what you know to do is the right thing

verybadmouth:

Truly I understand the term but you know, it is better to get a clearer understanding from people that have had real life experiences.

Igbo people call it Nkewa isi while Yoruba people call it Illa (not sure). Please start giving your baby water if you aren’t

You have nothing to worry about

Just don't cut his/her anytime soon

Really? Do 2weeks old babies drink water or just breastmilk exclusively?

I have never heard that dehydration is the cause.

Used cloth and warm water to heat the place morning and evening it's will go

Take your baby to the hospital instead of looking for advice here

Lol it disappears after some months
Nothing to worry about

It's really nothing to be worried about. My neice had like two spots on her head then too. We were terrified a little but as time goes on everything closed up nd came back to normal, now she's a year plus bouncing and disturbing the whole house

lol, what do you think happens to kids of women whose breastmilk cannot come out? Or who lost their mothers, or were abandoned at birth?
The newborns drink water from day one and they survive

Learn yes

Not from social media

The baby is barely a month old.

A health problem especially when you do not know can kill in hours.

So seeking advice on health matters for a neonate is not just ignorant it is criminal irresponsibility

Were there no parents before the internet which is barely 30 years old?

Google it up my sister

"Water to drink everyday"? Really?... And you said you are talking from experience. Well, I don't think giving the baby water is the best option as the baby must be given breast milk exclusively for 6 months at least. I think the baby is fine.
