The front fontanel is the soft part of the newborn baby's head and the gap between the skull. The front fontanel won't close until the baby is about 2 years old. The baby's scalp covered the gap. It's really difficult, but you must be careful not to put pressure on the baby's foregut. The front fontanel doesn't need special care, but what if the scalp covering it is tight or bulging? (prominent swelling), or abnormal collapse of the anterior fontanel (abnormal depression), you should seek medical attention immediately.
