Hello, I have in my nursing curriculum books that say between 12 months and 18 months for the anterior fontanelles. I've changed the article to reflect that. (Ironically, there are professors on my community college campus that state that a professor edited a wikipedia page to reflect inaccurate information, and that information is still there. I think I found it, here. The anterior fontanelles DO NOT close between the ages of 25-50. Shenanigans. I've looked through 3 different books, and they all say between a year and year and a half.

I don't know how to cite, properly, within Wikipedia, but the source I'm using was this one: http://www.aafp.org/afp/2003/0615/p2547.html ; trying to go with scientific literature. :) Greengirl11 (talk) 14:50, 16 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
