What happens if my baby's anterior fontanelle closes too early?

If the fontanelle of a baby closes too early, it can cause issues with proper brain development and growth of the skull. It is important to discuss this with a doctor, who can examine the fontanelle and head circumference of the baby to determine if further tests are needed. Contact your clinic to schedule a follow-up appointment with your baby's doctor for guidance and reassurance.
