How To Determine Whether My 6 Month S Old S Fontanelle Is Pushed?
I m worried that last night, while taking my 6 month old s shirt off, my thumb accidentally pushed on the fontanelle slightly. The baby isn t showing any signs of swelling or fever but has been cranky since last night. I m just worried I may have done some damage, even though I didn t push hard. Help...?

there is no reason to worry, damage to fontanelles need a serious trauma.. observe the area of his head only, if you find a swelling or redness then go to a doctor
