I've found this in a very helpful site but i'ts a secret site for me :)
* Get regular prenatal care to reduce your risk of premature labor, which places your baby at risk of hydrocephalus and other complications. * Protect your baby or child from head injuries by using a properly installed, age- and size-appropriate child safety seat on all car trips. Make sure all your baby equipment - crib, stroller, swing, high chair - meets all safety standards and is properly adjusted for your baby's size and development. * Keep your child's immunizations up-to-date. Vaccines that prevent some types of meningitis - once a common cause of hydrocephalus - are now on the immunization schedule for healthy infants and children.
