Body Mass Index (BMI). Body Mass Index (BMI) is measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women. BMI does not differentiate between body fat and muscle mass. Therefore, body builders and people who have a lot of muscle bulk will have a high BMI but are not overweight or obese.
The bump: or hematoma as we call it, can last for 1-2 weeks. Sometimes it gets slightly worse before it gets better. If the child is acting normally, and not vomiting uncontrollably, she should be fine. If she starts doing those things, call your pediatrician.
Iâd encourage you to listen to, and trust your baby and yourself, and to ignore the pediatrician on this one. A few minutes on his tummy several times a day isnât going to round your sonâs head, and the flat spot is not reason for concern. It will resolve itself by the time he is two years old, at the latest.
