Early symptoms of a big-headed baby

Nowadays, people's quality of life has been greatly improved. Many babies do not face malnutrition after birth. However, since babies are mainly fed with breast milk or milk powder in the early stages, if the mother's milk is not nutritious enough, or if the mother buys inferior milk powder, it may lead to poor development of the baby in the long run. Over time, the baby will develop symptoms of "big head babies" with enlarged heads and shrunken limbs.

Big-headed babies are a condition of infant maldevelopment and are an infant disease caused by quality problems with milk powder in the early 21st century. It is mainly caused by the consumption of extremely poor quality milk powder, which leads to severe malnutrition in infants. This can cause the baby's head to become very large. In severe cases, it can lead to organ failure of the baby's heart, liver, kidneys and other organs, and may cause the baby's death. So what are the early symptoms of big-headed babies? Let’s find out together.

The occurrence of big-headed babies is mainly caused by eating poor quality milk powder that is completely nutritionally unqualified. Since the protein intake of babies is seriously insufficient, it cannot meet the growth and development of babies. Long-term consumption will cause babies to suffer from "severe malnutrition syndrome" and stop growing when the baby grows fastest, resulting in short limbs and a weak body. The most typical symptom is that the head is obviously too big, like a "big-headed doll". Some severe cases can even cause the baby to become lighter and smaller as he grows, and finally lead to organ failure of the baby's heart, liver, kidney and other organs and death.

The main symptom of big head baby is the progressive abnormal enlargement of the head. The baby's head is enlarged but the face appears relatively small, and the fontanelle is also enlarged. The enlargement of the head of a big-headed baby usually occurs within a few weeks or months after birth, and sometimes it gradually appears after a year and a half. The superficial scalp veins may be dilated, the forehead may be enlarged, the cranial sutures may open, and percussion may sound like a "broken pot." In addition, babies with big heads will suffer from neurological damage, mental retardation, and spastic paralysis of their limbs. When intracranial pressure increases, it may lead to repeated vomiting, head scratching, crying and even drowsiness.

The above are some symptoms of big-headed babies. It can be seen that the occurrence of big-headed babies is mainly caused by extreme malnutrition, which is very harmful to the health of the babies and can even lead to death in severe cases. Therefore, it is very important for young babies to have adequate nutrition. I hope parents can choose the right nutritionally qualified milk powder to prevent malnutrition from affecting the growth and development of babies.
