The soft spots on a baby's head are called fontanelles. There are two of them, the larger one close to the front of the head, and a smaller one that closes soon after birth further back on the head.
Sometimes a baby's lymph nodes may become swollen. When enlarged, the bump can be small and very hard. In order to rule out anything serious, talk to a pediatrician.
The membranes that link the two sides of a baby's cranium is called the fontanelle. The elasticity of the membrane allows for the baby's growth over the first nine to eighteen months of life.

No. Babies have a "soft spot" on their head but it eventually closes.
two "spots" generally combine to make up the larger spot. they are the posterior fontanel and the anterior fontanel
a soft spot on a baby's head
The soft spot on a baby's head closes as he or she grows. Since the head is still developing as an infant, it will gradually come into its own as the child grows.
An adult soft spot is usually a soft spot found on the side of the skull, instead of the fontanel that are found in an infant's skull. What the adult soft spot does, it actually supports the skull; avoiding a severe head injury.
Well if its crying then that's ok but if it fell anywhere near its soft spot which is located on the top of a babys head where the brain is,then you need to go to the doctor NOW because you can not let anything hit it because it could kill your baby.
