The weight of his head is due to the development of his brain. His brain will develop and become complete by the end of birth. Although the baby's brain has developed, the skull structure is still soft and has not fused. This is because it becomes easier to exit the mother's womb during birth. The most important situation of your baby is during this week. The baby takes the birth position and goes into a head-down position.
