Question

How to treat a newborn’s fontanelle that closes at 40 days?

Answer

Early fontanelle closure and a small size are typically not a major issue, as the normal development of the head circumference is more crucial. As long as the baby’s head circumference is stable and within the normal range, there is no need to worry about the growth and development of the head. However, if parents have concerns about their baby’s head circumference or fontanelle condition, they should immediately take the child to see a doctor for a professional evaluation and treatment recommendations. The doctor will provide an appropriate care plan based on the baby’s specific situation.
