    Fontanelle Closures

    by Cathy Parkes January 18, 2021 Updated: July 05, 2021

    A child's posterior fontanelle closes between 6-8 weeks. The anterior fontanelle closes between 12-18 months. Hint: A baby starts on its back first then her front later
    A child's posterior fontanelle closes between 6-8 weeks. The anterior fontanelle closes between 12-18 months.

    Just as baby is on her back first then her front later, posterior (back) fontanelle closes first then anterior (front) closes later.
