NEWBORN APPEARANCE
Soft Spot (Anterior Fontanel):
The front "soft spot"
is diamond-shaped and covered by a thick fibrous layer. Touching this
area is quite safe. The purpose of the soft spot is to allow rapid growth
of the brain. The soft spot will normally pulsate with each beat of the
heart. It usually closes over with bone between 12 and 18 months of age.
(Normal range is 5 to 24 months of age.) The back "soft spot"
is smaller, triangular-shaped and closes between 2 and 3 months.
