What is the soft spot on the top of a babys head called?
The soft spots are called fontanelles. They occur at the fibrous sutures (joints) between the plates of the skull, and usually fuse with bone (ossify) within the first two years after birth. The spacing between the skull plates is necessary for proper expansion as the brain grows.
Had 19 week sonogram and was told the head wasn't closed?
A babies head has different plates that are not fused together. If your doctor was not alarmed then you should not be either. When your baby is born he/she will have two soft spots (one in the back and one in the front). These soft spots is where the head is not closed yet. There is thick tissue to protect the brain but it is not yet bone. The one in the back of your babies head will close first and then the one in the front of his/her head. I hope this helps and congrats on your pregnancy.

When do babies soft spots go away?
Babies typically have soft spots, known as fontanelles, on their skulls that close as they grow. The anterior fontanelle, located at the top of the head, usually closes between 12 to 18 months of age, while the smaller posterior fontanelle, at the back, often closes by 2 to 3 months. These soft spots allow for brain growth and the flexibility of the skull during childbirth. If there are any concerns about a baby's fontanelles, it's best to consult a pediatrician.
