Head shape
Hi Dr,
Just wanted a clarification, I delivered a baby on 28/11/23 was a normal delivery but vacuum assisted. Labour for almost 8 hours..The baby head shape is a bit cone shaped till now. Is this something I need to be worried of? As it was via a vacuum?
Thank you so much

A photograph will help. If the shape of head, even after 14 days of birth is abnormal, take consultation.
If it was normal, it should have resolved by Day 7 of life.
Next Steps
Any history of jaundice ?
Health Tips
Activity of child if normal, no jaundice, not to worry urgently. But better to take consultation in case of doubt.
