A member asked:

I delivered my baby by help of a vacuum machine,but my baby's head has a swelling that is so soft is it normal?and how long it gonna take to disappear

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Patience: Although this often looks stressful it is a common event with a vacuum extraction and the majority of the time the blood will be absorbed. If there are no neurological issues, patience and time are the best medicine. Be sure to have your Pediatrician check it out and monitor it with you. http://www.drhull.com/EncyMaster/C/cephalohematoma.html
