That is normal. Her head will go back to normal. When a baby passes into and/or through hte birth canal the head deforms so that it will pass more easily. (Easily in this case is a relative term.)
babies heads are often so soft that they’re still taking shape. premie babies heads are usually really long because of how they lie down on one side, the nurses call them “toaster-heads” but they all take shape eventually. i’m sure she’ll grow up to be a beautiful healthy girl.
First, congratulations!!! Yes it will. Next she will probably develop a flat spot on her skull from lying in her crib and on her back during the day.
“Conehead
A newborn’s skull is made up of separate bones that are not fully fused at birth. This makes it easier for your baby to squeeze through the birth canal. It also makes it more likely, however, that his skull will look pointed–especially if it took him a long time to make his way into the world. But this look won’t last long. “The head should be more rounded in a day or so,” says Joseph Gigante, M.D., associate professor of pediatrics at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, in Nashville. And the bones will fuse gradually over the next several months (four to six months in the back of the head, and 12 to 18 months on the top).”
Yes, don’t worry, we called my nephew CONEHEAD for a few weeks. She will be just fine, most babies have a cone shaped head, especially if they were in and/or through the birth canal. HAVE FUN AUNTIE!!
