Your baby has a soft spot near the front of his skull how long before it hardens?

The fontanelle or "soft spot" at the front of a baby's head is where 4 bones join in the skull. It is not fragile, but also not the spot you truly want to expose to the elements. It's soft and vulnerable as there is no bone between your baby's brain and the outside world. There is tough tissue there to take the place of a skull while it grows.When a baby transitions from infant to toddler and starts walking, the fontanelle area allows for the bones to shift and absorb impact upon a fall.You'll sometimes see the soft spot pulse a bit as you watch blood flow around your baby's brain and skull when they are calm and resting. It's normal!


Is there a problem if an adult notices a soft spot on the top of their head although there is no pain associated with the soft spot?

This is called the Fontanelle and is a gap in the bones of the top of the skull. When a baby passes through the birth canal the skull bones overlap each other like rose petals,During early life the skull bones unite along sutures and the fontanelle usually closes completely.You may be a rare case of this not completely finishing. The brain is protected by a tough membrane called the Dura with a layer of skin on top. It is unlikely to give you trouble but I would mention it to a medic next time you visit .
