I WONDER - Are Baby's Skulls Different?

The video explains that when babies are born, their skull bones are not fully fused, allowing for flexibility during birth and room for brain growth. It introduces fontanels, the soft spots on a baby's head, and describes the two main types: anterior and posterior. As children grow, these fontanels close, and the skull bones fuse together, typically by age two.
