Dylan is 16 months old and his fontanelle is still about 4cm.. it's bigger than Reuben's and he's only 3 months, doesn't seem to have got any smaller at all!? Could it be a sign of something wrong? They used forceps when he was born and he had a swelling on the side of his head (which midwife said was normal), then had a flat head on the same side till he started sitting up, could that have anything to do with it?! Sorry, questions questions! :oops:
 
My sons is still pretty big to, maybe about 2, 3cm. its still pulsates like mad which is really freaky! I think most children's disappear by the age of 18months but its not unheard of close to their 2nd birthday. I wouldnt worry, im not concerned :hug:
