Patient's question:
The doctor said that the fontanel is small and is closing soon. I am concerned that if it closes so early, her brain development in the future may be affected. Is this normal? What should I do? Thank you.What kind of help do you want: The doctor said that the fontanel is small and is closing soon.

Doctor's answer:
The fontanelle on the head being closed early or late is a matter of concern. Now your baby is two and three months old, and the fontanelle on the head is still as big as your index finger and has not fully closed, which is really quite late. Generally speaking, it is about one and a half years old when it fully closes, but there are many cases of delayed closure. My relative's child also took more than two years to close. It is a calcium deficiency, and taking some calcium will be fine.
