I don't understand you people anymore it seems like you don't value the life of your child. Why not take the little kid to general hospital or private hospital to see a good doctor and you're here seeking for answers. Nawaooo! |

Wow. Quite strange and rare. Sunken fontanelle in a neonate. You need to seek medical atttention ASAP. That impression on her cranium is too deep. Entertain no fears madam. Take her to a paediatric specialist hospital straight away. How's her breathing? Is there much pulse at the anterior fontanelle? |

verybadmouth:Congratulations. Do not be worried, it will close up But in case you were planning to do exclusive breastfeeding, kindly change your mind and include water. Don't overdo the watering This link states that dehydration could increase the depth of a sunken fontanel. Please check it out https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323912#outlook |

Skooltynz:It does disappear with time. My daughter is one today and had similar until 3 weeks ago. The first time I discovered it I almost died. We took her to two different hospitals and they both said it will disappear and it did. |

It will close up eventually. My son had the same issue when we had him. Just as the guy I quoted here said, keep him hydrated. It's nothing serious to worry about. Beremx: |

Talking from experience, there's absolutely nothing wrong with your baby. It will heal up on its on. Healing time differs in children. If you like, go do pass yourself. |

My first child who is ten now had it just few weeks after birth, there is this plant I was asked to use then, the plant produces something that looks like cumcumber which later dry and open up can be use as sponge, what you will need from the plant is the flower that it produces, very early in the morning you go and cut the flower with out talking to anyone, early as 5:30am to 6:am , once you get it squeeze the flower, little water will come out apply to the part of the baby head that is affected, I think I repeated for about 3 times and the stuff disappeared from my daughter’s head |
