    Babys head shape

    Hi

    My little baby is 2weeks old,just wondering when will his head go back to normal shape, due to having the vaucluse(vacumn) for delivery, his head is still a bit out of shape,

    Thanks

    I'm not sure about vacuum delivery, but Emma had a really cone shaped head as a newborn (it's funny though, I could hardly see it myself, but when I look back at photos I can - I was looking with my rose coloured glasses ) but I guess it took a few months to completely change shape, maybe even more. But probably by a couple of months it was fairly 'normal'.

    Hi Maggie

    Kaitlyn had vaccum delivery but I dont remember her having an odd shaped head after it ...although it was bruised. However I know this can happen. I would give the OB or Hospital a call as I am sure they would be able to set your mind at ease...or your pead if you have one.
