When a baby is born the skull is not a solid dome as it is in adults. it is a collection of bones held together with thick fibrous sheaths. the bones need to be able to mould or float across each other as the baby passes through the birth canal during its delivery, as it is a bit of a tight squeeze.
The skull bones later fuse to become the rigid skull of the adult. you can feel the babies fontanelle or soft spot for months after its birth. the connecting fibrous sheaths are felt as suture lines on the babys skull.
