Re: fontanelle

Hi there,

There is no such thing as a paranoid parent and its GREAT that you are so aware of your childs development. Now as to you daughters fontanelle there is really nothing to be concerned about yet as its very common for the fontanelle not to close until around 18-27 months . . If after 27 months your daughters fontanelle has still not fused together then it is best to speak to you local GP.

My sisters second child was 36 months before his fontanelle closed over and he is perfectly fine now. So please try not to stress and if you are really concerned then by all means pay a visit to your local GP   . .

Cheers Kellz
