@drjoe_md: The anterior fontanelle, the soft spot on a baby’s head, can give important clues about a child’s health. In a healthy baby, it should feel firm and slightly curved inward. However, if the fontanelle appears sunken, it could be a sign of dehydration, while a bulging fontanelle may indicate increased intracranial pressure, which can happen with conditions like meningitis or head trauma. Parents and caregivers should be aware of these changes and seek medical advice if they notice any abnormalities. #babies #babytips #momofinstagram #pediatrics #newmom

My son had bulging at birth time. We went for test and ultrasounds and they never figured out why! We just went on with life it went away.

How do you not know this as a mother…seriously, one of your main responsibilities is to protect that spot until closes.
