Is it a must to cover 2mth plus baby's head?

[yvonne_ktw]

Is it really true that up to 2mth old their skull is still not fully closed up yet and need to cover his head to avoid wind gets in and future will have headache?

[CanCanMum]

yes tats what i did to my boy....but only when he goes out & not required to wear when at home. I think i stopped wearing hats for him after 6 months.

[mrspuppy]

i cover his head when i bring him out when he's very much younger. but not all the time.

[LoVeS]

When my dear son was young i didnt let him wear any hat to cover his head his i dont see the need sumore he alrdy sweating alot frm his head so no pt covering his head to make him sweat even more

Hi Hi,
You cover the head cause of ugly? That means it's not to prevent him from wind getting in?
How about at home? Like fan blowing around. or wind too big and wind will get into his head?

[yvonne_ktw]

Anyone of you all heard before that the skull is not fully grown that's why have to wear hat/cover the head all the time?

[mrspuppy]

i know newborn's skull not fully developed yet but i've never heard that covering their head w hat will help.

hahahah both .....

[oblong]

yup. i made dear son wear a hat when i bring him out. he hates it alot, cos the hat will always somehow cover his eyes without fail, no matter how i adjust for him. (actually i suspect he's the one who adjust it after i put it on for him, cos he dont like hats......) whether does it help to prevent wind from going in, i dont know. cos i just simply follow what my mum say.

at home, he's always hat-less.

My mother in law say cover head is prevent wind gets in. If not future he will hav headache often.

[yvonne_ktw]

[yvonne_ktw]

Hmm... I went around to check and at last found this webby.
Soft Spots | Baby | Baby, Pregnancy, and Parenting at Babies Online

It says the soft spot is still not closed yet. But ang mo is saying just take care no such thing as wind gets in will get headache..

[mrspuppy]

i think if really got such thing, our gynae or pediatrician will tell us to do that already.

[CanCanMum]

actually that 'soft' spot will not be closed until baby reaches 5 years old.....i read it somewhere at babycenter.
