Question

Is it normal for an 11-month-old baby to have a fontanelle measurement of 1*1?

Answer

Generally, at birth, the size of a baby’s fontanelle is about 2.52.5cm, and it gradually increases, usually closing between 12 to 18 months of age. According to the inquiry, an 11-month-old baby having a fontanelle measurement of 11 is considered normal. By around one year old, the fontanelle should be completely closed. It’s important to ensure adequate calcium intake.
