The skull doesn’t finish forming proprely until after being born. This id to make birthing a little easier. Naturally, this is a sensitive spot, until the skull is fully formed.

I believe it is called the “Fontanel” (?) it is where the plates of the skull have yet to fully grow together.

It is also useful in an orphanage when there is a serious inferno, it enables staff to grab five babies with each hand at a time and rescue them.

Nature’s way of weeding out people with idiot brothers and sisters. The brain underneath is unprotected to the degree that the bones are malleable.

It’s where the skull hasn’t grown to form together… That’s why babies have more bones then grown-ups, their skulls are in pieces untill their brain grows and the skull has to expand
