My son will turn one year old on March 8. He was born at 35 weeks. Head ultrasounds have always been normal. Lab tests are also normal; calcium and vitamin D are normal. He is developing according to his age. The fontanelle hasn't closed yet—I'm worried.

There's nothing to worry about. The normal healing process can take from three months to one and a half years.

Are you sure that's what the doctor said? I also thought it hadn't closed yet, and the bones were still soft.

kristina We were at a pediatrician appointment at 11 months. She said it should last until the age of one year. If it doesn't, that's not normal... That's what I've been wondering.

kristina Please consider changing your pediatrician. He doesn't owe anyone anything. Everything has its own time.

Don't waste time on nonsense. Everything is normal. The fontanel (soft spot) may remain open until about 2–2.5 years old. There's nothing to worry about.

I have inherited, from my father's side, a tendency for late closure of the fontanelle. It typically doesn't close until around age two.

In all children, the fontanelle typically closes around 1.5 years.

Nadya Is your baby full-term? I was just thinking that maybe mine is related to prematurity.

The older baby had a fontanel for a long time, and it closed after a year.

Inna We were at a visit with the pediatrician when she was 11 months old; she said that if it doesn't close by one year, that's not normal... That's why I started worrying.

Alena Someone told me that it closed down within six months, and that's bad. It almost gave me a heart attack.

Alena Нам за этот год чего только не говорили уже. Сначала на прием приходишь, прекрасный ребенок, всё нормально. Как только видят в карточке, что недоношенный немного, начинают прикапываться, сердце мне рвать. И в итоге приходится тащиться к другим врачам, которые либо посмеются над предыдущими, либо очень сильно удивятся. И это всё происходит с учётом того, что ребенок совсем без диагнозов! Здоров! Когда уже это клеймо с нас уйдет. Я представляю что творят с теми матерями, у которых дети сильно недоношены...

Alena Honestly, I didn’t go to him at all. I used to come once a month, then I visited the doctor who treated my older child, and I felt reassured. Then they did an ultrasound at six months and handed me something. I went back to the same trusted doctor, and I didn’t end up at the clinic again for three years, until I started getting ready for kindergarten.
