Why hasn't my baby soft spot closed?

A baby's soft spot, or fontanelle, typically closes between 9 to 18 months, but the timing can vary. Factors such as genetics, premature birth, and individual growth patterns can influence when it closes. If you're concerned about your baby's soft spot not closing, it's best to consult a pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues. Regular check-ups can provide reassurance and monitor your baby's development.
