• 1. Measure the circumference in inches and centimeters at the eybrow line (33-35 cm)
• 2. Palpate suture lines and fontanelles
• 3. Observe for indication of molding, caput succedaneum, cephalohematoma.

Molding is the shaping of the head by the overlapping of the cranial bones so that the baby can pass through the birth canal during labor

Caput succedaneum is a generalized edamatous area of the scalp (commonly found on the occiput). It extends across suture lines of the skull and disappears spontaneously within 3 to 4 days. This is common with babies who are born with the assistance of a vacuum.

A cephalohematoma is the collection of blood between a skull bone and its periosteum. This is why a cephalohematoma does not cross suture lines. Causes include: low forceps birth, difficult forceps rotation and extraction, and spontaneous birth from pressure against the maternal bony pelvis. a complication of a cephalohematoma is jaundice due to hemolysis of RBCs as the cephalohematoma resolves.

This is where the cord is around the neck when the baby is born
