Patient's question:
At the 42-day check-up, the baby's anterior fontanelle was 1cm x 1cm in size. Now that the baby is two and a half months old, it's not noticeable that there's any pulsation in the anterior fontanelle, and it can't be felt whether it has closed or not. Is it normal?Doctor's answer:
The anterior fontanelle is usually closed between 12-18 months of age. It is recommended to carefully palpate the anterior fontanelle. The anterior fontanelle generally begins to enlarge at 6 months of age and closes between 12-18 months. Premature closure is seen in children with microcephaly. It is recommended to closely monitor and observe. The above advice is for the question "Can't see the of the baby's anterior fontanelle at 2 months," and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
