Even as an adult I still have a little depression on that part of my head. It has never been an issue for me. |

aribisala0: Lets not be quick to assume that the OP has not asked her family. Sometimes my doctor tells me stuff and I start asking around because I do not want to only hear from a doctor who knows about it, but from a person who has lived it, who has experienced it, who has felt the fear and anxiety personally |

Wrong wrong wrong! Exclusive breastfeeding is key to any infant from birth till 6 months. The breast milk contains 70% water already. To the mother; just practice exclusively breastfeeding judiciously and see it all close up. Beremx: |

QuickStandard: Most babies aren't born that way. Sunken fontanelle is usually a sign of dehydration. Babies are only born with a soft or open fontanelle as u may call it but not with a depressed one. 1 Like |

Shokoloko:Why not go to the market to ask for advice? |
Re: Help, My 2weeks Old Baby Has A Sunken Fontanelle. What Do We Do? by awapp: 3:46pm On Nov 19, 2021 |

Shokoloko: What about the ones that are doing exclusive breastfeeding? Water is not included. No one has said some children don't survive on formula and water. Not all women breastfeed. It's best for the op to go to a hospital to get info from a doctor. |

aribisala0: I actually don't discriminate about the occupation of the people I ask advice from, so yes I also talk with people who conduct business in the market. The bible says "in the multitude of counsel, there is safety" There is nothing wrong with asking people what to do as long as long as she also seeks advice from a medical practitioner. When I was a child I had a severe case of Genu Varum. ALL the doctors that my mother met were ready to have me operated on by an orthopaedic doctor. It was people (social media of our time 70s and 80s) that told her where to go. Some herbs and oils were applied on the legs and they straightened perfectly. The only evidence I have of bow-legs are my pictures as a baby |

I only came to check what the name is all about........What do I know best if not Architectural drawings and construction works.... Check my signature for details ....... As for the kid.....the qualified Doctors here will speak for me.... |
Re: Help, My 2weeks Old Baby Has A Sunken Fontanelle. What Do We Do? by Commanderinpips: 3:52pm On Nov 19, 2021 |
Just apply palm canel oil on the spot it will close up, talking from experience. |
Re: Help, My 2weeks Old Baby Has A Sunken Fontanelle. What Do We Do? by treatise: 3:53pm On Nov 19, 2021 |
verybadmouth: the big term you used confused me; this is normal thing na. All kids I have come across had it , it covers up with time. You have to make sure the spot is not exposed to cold conditions or you may always apply mentholatum after bathing the baby . No cause for alram. |
Re: Help, My 2weeks Old Baby Has A Sunken Fontanelle. What Do We Do? by chudisco(m): 3:53pm On Nov 19, 2021 |
Sunken fontanelle is a sign of dehydration, so give the baby water, if it's still sunken then go to the hospital |

Shokoloko: Hmmm why not say you had a case of bow legs........Genu Varum sounds like one Arsenal player to me. |

1Sharon: Dear, you are also African too You can still prove your point without being insultive. You did not answer this question: What do you think happens to kids of women whose breastmilk cannot come out? Or who lost their mothers, or were abandoned at birth? |
Re: Help, My 2weeks Old Baby Has A Sunken Fontanelle. What Do We Do? by haiti007(m): 3:54pm On Nov 19, 2021 |
Beremx: I think it's too early to give water to a 2 weeks old baby.... Enough breastfeeding will do. |

Re: Help, My 2weeks Old Baby Has A Sunken Fontanelle. What Do We Do? by EkoErrands: 3:57pm On Nov 19, 2021 |
verybadmouth: If its sunken at any time in the day...the baby need to be fed. He or she is hungry. You can use that a s a cue...its nothing to worry about |
Re: Help, My 2weeks Old Baby Has A Sunken Fontanelle. What Do We Do? by aribisala0(m): 3:59pm On Nov 19, 2021 |
No Shokoloko:Your biography will make a good book not doubt but it is not relevant here The point s simple Health Advice is best obtained from professionals. This is especially the case for a child that is so young Getting advice from professionals s common sense not discrimination Everything else is foolishness |
