My baby is 9 months old and I don’t think his soft spot has closed at all since birth it’s still v large, probably about the size of 3 of my finger tips. It’s also always slightly sunken and always has been.

is this normal? I can’t remember my other children’s ever being this big at this age, I thought they were meant to be pretty much closed by 12m?
