A cephalohematoma is a collection of blood between a newborn's skull bone and its periosteum, typically caused by the pressure of vaginal delivery. It feels like a soft, spongy swelling on one side of the head, but unlike a caput succedaneum, it doesn't cross suture lines. While alarming for parents, it usually resolves on its own within weeks to months, though it can slightly increase jaundice risk.
