๐ถ Fun fact: that soft spot on a newbornโs head has a nameโfontanelle.
A fontanelle is a natural gap between skull bones that gives your babyโs brain room to grow. When baby is calm, it usually feels firm and slightly sunken. Handle it gently during bathing and cuddles, and avoid pressing.
If the soft spot looks very bulging when baby is settled, or very sunken alongside fewer wet nappies, check with a doctor for advice.
