There are different causes of swellings noted on the newborn baby's head. Cephalhematoma is a bleed that happens on the surface of the skull bone, underneath its covering called periosteum. It may not be seen soon after birth, and may be prominent after the first day or so. It is firm, fluctuant and is limited by the suture margin. It takes a few weeks to resolve and follows a typical pattern. No specific treatment is needed, apart from monitoring for jaundice.
I have a request-if you learned anything new or found any video that I share was useful (or would be useful to others), please like the video on YouTube. The reason for this request is that the YouTube algorithm puts lots of weight on viewer engagement, measured by likes and comments. These videos are then more likely to be discovered by others, so it could benefit more.
