my 2 month old infant just developed a lump on the back of his head the doctor said it was due to the vacuum used when he was born but that lump went away in a few days after he was born its been 2 weeks and the bump which is big hasn t gone away my baby seems fine
Thanks for your query. The pressure of the vacuum could cause blood to come out & get entrapped in between the layers of the scalp. It is of normal occurrence & could cause a bump on the babies head. Please do not worry. It may take some time to get absorbed but eventually would go away. It should not have any other effect. Hope that helps.
