At what month does a new born head fully shape

The shape of a newborn's head is often referred to as "molding" or "cranial molding." This is a normal process that occurs in the first few weeks of life, as the skull bones are soft and pliable.

In the first few weeks, the skull bones are not yet fully formed and are still soft and flexible. As the baby passes through the birth canal, the skull bones can become compressed and molded to fit through the narrow passage. This can cause the head to take on a more elongated or conical shape.

In the first month, the head may still be slightly misshapen, but it will start to return to its normal shape as the skull bones begin to harden and fuse together. By around 2-3 months, the head should have returned to its normal shape, although it may still be slightly soft and pliable.

Here's a rough timeline of what you can expect:

Keep in mind that every baby is different, and the rate at which the head returns to its normal shape can vary. If you have concerns about your baby's head shape or development, it's always a good idea to consult with your pediatrician.
