A member asked:

The soft spot on my 18 months old boy is not closed, its still moving up and down.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It happens: The size & closure timing of the soft spot varies in humans. Ninety % are closed by 19 mo & 96% by 2 yrs. There are a few conditions like low thyroid that can delay closure, but the presence of a soft spot at that age is neither confirmation of a problem or a reason for worry.
