Hi, DS is 18mo today - he was 7 weeks early though, but 18m is his actual age.
Anyway, should his fontanelle (the main one at the top of his head) be closed by now?
It's just something that occurred to me this morning when I brushed his hair and noticed it was still quite soft, not overly massive but definitely not closed! I have had a quick look on the net and whilst a couple of sites have indicated that it can stay open until 2 years, the majority say between 12-14 months but generally by 18m.
Just wondered.......? Thanks.
