Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The anterior fontanelle typically closes between 12-18 months of age, so it would be unexpected for it to be closed at 7 months. The posterior fontanelle usually closes by 2 months of age, so it would be expected to be closed at 7 months. The head may appear larger in proportion to the body at this age, which is normal. Two baby teeth at 7 months is also within the normal range of development.
