When Does the Fontanel Close?

Generally, a child’s fontanelle closes between 10 months and one week. Some children may close earlier, while others may close later. If the closure is delayed, it is often due to a deficiency of calcium in the child’s body. Therefore, if your baby’s fontanelle closes late, it is important to promptly supplement calcium, along with vitamin D, and ensure a diverse diet for your child. Additionally, exposing your child to sunlight regularly can effectively prevent calcium deficiency.
