Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What is the normal time for fontanelle closure?Doctor's answer:
Normally, the fontanel should close at around 1.5 years old. Your baby is doing well. As long as there is no calcium deficiency, I believe the fontanel will close quickly.At birth, an infant has two soft spots on the top of the head, which are called "fontanelles" in medical terms. The posterior fontanel usually closes within 3 months after birth, while the anterior fontanel typically takes until 1.5 years to close. The "sky window" or "fontanel" that people often refer to mainly refers to the anterior fontanel.
