Is it a lack of calcium if a baby frequently sleeps on one side after birth, resulting in an irregularly shaped head with angles?

If it closes before 6 months, it may indicate microcephaly or underdevelopment of the brain. If it hasn’t closed by 18 months, it is considered late, and the child may have hydrocephalus, rickets, and cretinism. A bulging fontanelle indicates increased intracranial pressure, which may suggest meningitis, encephalitis, or vitamin A poisoning. A sunken fontanelle may be due to dehydration and malnutrition.
