DD's was quite fused at 6 months, and we used the hormone cream for a few months and it is now open. I keep an eye on it as I was told it could refuse, but now that she's walking apparently it's less likely as she's moving alot more in the general area i.e. crawling, walking, falling, climbing etc. The MCHN recommened vaseline once a day too but we never did. We were hesitant about using the cream but hers was quite fused so decided to after weighing up the pros and cons. She did get a very fine covering of blonde hair but it was gone within 2 weeks of stopping the cream.

I can understand why you're freaking out too, I was beside myself at the time. I was lucky enough though that a friend of mine had mentioned it in her daughter a couple of years earlier, so I rang her straight away to calm myself down. I'm so thankful she shared it with me at the time!!
