Question
What to Do If a Child’s Fontanelle Hasn’t Closed by 8 Months?
Answer
You don’t need to worry. Your child is only eight months old, and it’s normal for the fontanelle to remain open until around 18 months. Pay attention to supplementing calcium for your child, and also add cod liver oil to promote calcium absorption. In addition, when you next have a health check-up, you can ask the doctor if the fontanelle has shrunk compared to the last check. As long as it is shrinking and gradually closing, there is no problem. The above suggestions are for the question “What should I do if my child’s fontanelle hasn’t closed by 8 months?”. Hope this helps, and wish you health!
