A member asked:
I have a 22 months old healthy hyperactive baby boy with open anterior fontanelle. i was vit d3 defficient during pregnancy. can this be the reason?

4-26 months is the: Range of closure of the anterior fontanelle. If he has no increased intracranial pressure, congenital hypothyroidism, or skeletal anomalies, it's probably an "outlier." early-onset hyperactivity is seen with family history of adhd, prenatal exposure to drugs & alcohol, & some genetic syndromes. Does india have an early intervention program that can help you by assessing his development?

Possibly: Mothers with vitamin d deficiency can have issues in their infants. Some studies have shown that variations in the maternal vitamin d level can affect the closure times of the fontanelles. It may not be anything to worry about, especially is your baby is developing well.
