Where is the baby halogen door


Healing with compassion, caring with dedication.
Baby's halogen door is located in the center of the top of the head. The
halogen door is the area of the baby's skull that is not fully closed. The presence of the halogen door allows the baby to pass through the birth canal more smoothly at birth, reducing resistance and damage during childbirth. Usually, the rear fontanelle closes shortly after birth, while the front fontanelle gradually decreases as the baby grows, usually around one and a half years old.
The state of the halogen door can reflect the health of the baby. If the halogen door closes too early, it may affect the development of the baby's brain; if the halogen door closes late, it may indicate the existence of certain diseases such as rickets and hydrocephalus. Health care personnel assess the health of the baby by regularly checking and monitoring the size and tension of the halogen door.
