What is the cause of fontanelle closure

summary

As we all know, a baby is born with two fontanels that are not closed, one is the anterior fontanel, the other is the posterior fontanel. The posterior fontanel is usually closed after birth, or within 2-4 months. The anterior fontanel is usually closed before 1-1.5 years old after birth. So, what are the abnormalities of the baby's anterior fontanelle? Let's share my experience with you.

What is the cause of fontanelle closure

First: if the baby's anterior fontanel is too large, especially in the first two months after birth, the head circumference is obviously too large, the fontanel size is more than 5 cm, and it is not closed when it is one and a half years old, parents should be alert, and the baby may have the risk of hydrocephalus, so they should go to the hospital for treatment. two

Second: if the baby's front fontanel is too small, the head circumference is not in the normal value, too small, or in a few months when the baby's front fontanel has been closed, the front fontanel will not affect the development of the baby's intelligence or brain space, so parents should go to the hospital in time to check, so as not to delay the disease.

Third: if the baby's fontanel depression, then the baby or because of a cold, water in the body will evaporate quickly, water shortage leads to the baby fontanel depression, parents should give the baby timely water, increase blood circulation, fontanel will return to normal.

matters needing attention

Before the baby's fontanel is closed, it is very soft. Don't touch it with hard things, so as not to damage the baby's brain tissue and affect brain development.
