Oh dear, I haven't heard of this happening to anyone in my circle, but birth injuries like collarbone fractures do happen and they're actually more common than people realise. I'd really encourage you to follow up with your PD or KKH about the healing timeline and what follow-up care looks like, because they'll want to monitor it properly and make sure there's no nerve involvement. Most of the time these heal really well on their own without needing surgery, but your doctor will give you the best picture of what to expect for your baby and whether polyclinic visits or specialist follow-ups are needed. Hang in there, these things usually resolve without lasting issues.

Yes, this can happen during birth, and the good news is that newborn collarbone fractures usually heal very well on their own. Babies' bones heal surprisingly quickly, often within a few weeks, and most don't have any long-term problems from it. Your baby's doctor will usually advise if any follow-up is needed. If you've been asked to see the polyclinic, it's worth going so they can check that healing is progressing as expected. In the meantime, just handle baby gently and follow any advice given by the paediatrician. Hope your little one recovers quickly! ❤️

thank you so much for the reply and advice 💕
