👉 The "baby's weapon" is a term often used to describe the sharp, pointed structures that some newborns, particularly those with a condition called congenital muscular dystrophy or certain types of spina bifida, may develop as a defense mechanism against potential threats. These structures can appear as small, sharp protrusions on the lips or chin and are believed to be remnants of developing facial muscles. While they may not pose a significant threat in healthy infants, they can become problematic if they interfere with feeding or cause pain, prompting medical intervention to remove them.
