@babee_ai: ↓ Your baby’s soft spot can tell you more than most new parents realize. 👶 That soft area on your baby’s head is called a fontanelle — and it’s completely normal. It allows the skull to accommodate rapid brain growth during infancy. The posterior fontanelle usually closes during the first few months, while the larger anterior fontanelle often stays open much longer and commonly closes sometime during the second year. A soft spot can also gently pulse — that can be normal. What matters is noticing unusual changes. 🚩 Contact your pediatrician if the fontanelle appears persistently bulging when your baby is calm and upright, or noticeably sunken along with signs of dehydration or illness. ✨ Keep your baby’s growth, symptoms, milestones, and health history organized with Babee — so important changes are easier to remember and discuss with your pediatrician. Link in bio. Every baby develops on their own timeline. 🤍 🔖 Save this guide for later. #MomsofTikTok #newborntips #fontanelle #babydevelopment #babycare
