#AskTheExpert is it okay to not apply coconut oil on baby's soft spots on head? will it still Harden or not?

A. you can apply any boil on scalp no worries. The soft spot that is.. fontanelles closure will take place gradually, with the growth of the child. The posterior fontanelles close after about six to eight weeks after birth. The anterior fontanelle, on the other hand, takes a little longer to close, what with a duration of about 18 to 20 weeks, which is a good one year after the birth of the child.
