After birth, it's common to notice some swelling on your newborn's head, especially if labor was long or involved vacuum or forceps. This is often just fluid buildup from pressure during delivery, called caput succedaneum, which usually fades within a few days. Another type, cephalohematoma, involves blood collecting under the scalp and may take weeks to reabsorb. Either way, it's generally harmless and part of the journey into the world.
