You may often see a baby whose forehead is dry. Over time the jenong disappears or can also remain until the baby grows up. Many people also say that baby babies are a sign of smart babies. Is this true? Actually, what causes baby to be dead?

Does the baby baby signify a smart baby?

Many people think babies have no High IQ and will be a smart person. Not surprisingly, many parents are happy if their child has a soft forehead. They assume, the bigger the forehead, the bigger the size of the brain so that it will be smarter. However, is it true that the size of the forehead is related to children's intelligence?

Actually, the size of the forehead has nothing to do with the level of intelligence of the baby. Baby intelligence is more influenced by the growth of the baby's brain and how the baby's brain is sharpened. Brain growth, especially in the first year of a baby's life can be an important factor that influences intelligence.

This baby's brain growth can be described through the size of the baby's head. The size of the head of a large baby tends to have a large brain, which then affects the intelligence of the baby. This has also been proven by research in the journal Pediatrics, which shows that children aged 4 and 8 years with larger head sizes than other children tend to have higher IQ scores, quoted from WebMD.

However, certainly not only the size of the brain or the size of a large baby's head can determine how smart your baby is. Remember, there are still many other factors that affect your baby's intelligence. One of them is the relationship between children and parents.

Is it normal for a baby's head to jell?

Actually the shape of the baby's head can still change until a solid skull is formed. When still a baby, the skull bones will continue to grow. This is why you will feel your baby's forehead is very advanced when he is a baby, but over time the genie becomes less visible.

So, not necessarily the jenong forehead is abnormal and not necessarily a sign of a baby's physical disability. The forehead may be due to a derivative from the mother or father that has a wider forehead size.

However, in rare cases, the forehead can be associated with a serious problem that occurs in the baby's skull. For this reason, it is important for you to keep abreast of the baby's head circumference. Does your baby's head circumference grow according to the normal growth line every month from birth? If indeed there is a problem with its development, immediately consult a doctor.

Causes of abnormal forehead

If the growth of a baby's head circumference occurs very quickly, this might be caused by a brain-related problem. However, once again this is very rare. The following is bsome baby brain related problems that make the size of the forehead not normal.

Acromegaly, a chronic disease caused by too many growth hormones produced, causing bones in the face, hands, feet, and skull to be larger.
Congenital syphilis, caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum which infects the mother during pregnancy.
Kleidocranial dysostosis, namely abnormalities that cause abnormal skull and clavicle development.
Hurler syndrome, which is a metabolic disease that makes a person unable to break down glycosaminoglycans (long chain sugar molecules).
Pfeiffer syndrome, is a genetic disorder characterized by the early incorporation of certain skulls, thus preventing the skull from growing normally and affecting the shape of the head and face.
Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome, is a genetic disease that makes someone short, has distinctive facial features, and has intellectual disabilities.
