The one on the top of the head is called the anterior fontanelle and the one at the back is called posterior fontanelle

The anterior fontanelle was soft at birth as this allows the baby's head to exit the birth canal safely. As the baby gets older, the fontanelle closes and hardens to a normal skull.

"Fontanelle" (sometimes spelled "fontanel".) There are actually four of them, but the anterior fontanelle (directly on top) is usually the most noticeable.

Babies have six, four of them are closed during the intrauterine life. Posterior fontanelle is closed when baby is born, but it can be closed 2-3 rd month. Anterior fontanelle which is closed last, must be closed at 18th month lasltly.
