Patient's question:
My daughter is now eight months old. She eats quite normally and is very active and playful. She loves to laugh and smiles at everyone. She is also very smart; she can learn many things without us teaching her. Her sleep at night is also very good. The only thing that worries me is that her anterior fontanelle hasn't closed yet. I'm quite concerned.What kind of help do you need: What should I do if my child's anterior fontanelle hasn't closed at eight months?
Doctor's answer:
You don't need to worry, your baby is only eight months old. Generally speaking, it's normal for the fontanel to close before the age of eighteen months. Pay attention to giving your child calcium supplements, and also take some fish oil to enhance calcium absorption. Besides that, when you go for your next baby health check-up, ask the doctor if your baby's fontanel has shrunk significantly compared to the last check-up. As long as it's gradually closing and shrinking, there's nothing to be concerned about.The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my baby's fontanel hasn't closed at eight months?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
