Hello, Congratulations on the baby. The problem you mentioned is very common whenever people apply the suction cups for baby. If I am your treating Doctor I would advise you not to worry. The hematoma you have mentioned is disappear in due course of time. Only thing I advised you to have relaxed. Hematoma is gradually absorbed by the body circulation. I would also like to ask you if you find any other signs of great injury to baby like scalp injury, eye injury, ear injury? If it is present than the problem is serious. Ask me if you are in further quarry. Thnx
