I have a question about my baby: baby development center. Should I be worried?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

You have a concern about your baby's development center (the soft spot). The development center, or fontanel, is the soft area where skull bones haven't yet fused and closes normally after birth.

Here's information so you can stop worrying:

  • The soft spot closes in 12-18 months in most babies.
  • It's normal for the fontanel to be slightly sunken or pulse with heartbeat.
  • Early or late closing can sometimes be a sign.

What specifically are you wondering about? How many months old is your baby?
