A. At 14 months old, the anterior fontanelle (the soft spot on the top of the baby's head) should have started closing but may still be partially open. The fontanelle gradually closes as the baby grows, typically by 18 months to 2 years of age. In some babies, it may close earlier, while in others, it might remain slightly open for longer. It is normal for the fontanelle to appear slightly sunken or soft to the touch, but it should not be overly bulging or excessively depressed, as this could indicate a health issue like dehydration or increased intracranial pressure. If you notice that the fontanelle is bulging, or if you're concerned about any unusual changes, it's important to consult with a pediatrician. They can assess your baby’s overall health and development to ensure that everything is progressing normally.
