POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. It's common and normal for babies to have a soft spot on the top of their head called the fontanelle, particularly the anterior fontanelle (located at the front). This area allows for the baby's skull to expand and accommodate the rapid growth of the brain during early development.
If you're noticing that the posterior fontanelle (located at the back of the head) seems prominent or bulging, it could be due to the baby's position or movement. However, if you have concerns about the fontanelle being unusually tense or bulging consistently, it's advisable to consult with a pediatrician. They can assess whether everything is normal or if there might be any underlying issues to address.
