My child is seven months old and his head fell back on the crawling mat. He cried heartbrokenly. What should I do?

I can just answer this question, it happened less than half a month ago. I was a careless mother. I thought the baby would not turn over so I put it on the edge of the sofa. My family and I watched the gala. As a result, my son, who was more than four months old, fell onto the floor tiles with his head on the ground. It really scared me to death at that time. He burst into tears and cried even while holding me. About a few minutes passed, and the baby started to want to sleep. Maybe he was tired from crying, so he put his eyes on my husband's shoulder. I didn't relax. Various Baidu and Baidu shocked me and made me panic even more. So I asked the mothers in the baby group. Fortunately, my mother had enough experience and told me to continue to observe. If there was no vomiting, convulsions or lethargy, it would be no big problem. Because the baby's eyes are squinted, I wonder if he is sleepy? Fortunately, the baby woke up after ten minutes. My husband and I started teasing him tentatively, but he was as lively as usual. I touched his head and there was no obvious swelling, so I was half relieved. I didn't dare to sleep that night and kept staring at the baby for fear of something unexpected happening. Fortunately, there was no problem after 24 hours, otherwise I would really hate myself for the rest of my life.

I can understand this mother’s mood. She is particularly worried because she is afraid that something will happen if she falls. After your baby falls on his head, you should observe him for 24-48 hours. During this period, if you experience nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, irritability, or abnormalities in movement and consciousness, go to the hospital immediately. If nothing happens, then there is generally no problem. The baby is not as fragile as imagined. We must relax and don't scare ourselves.

Finally, I wish the baby healthy growth.

My son also fell down once when he was more than 2 years old. The back of his head hit the ground and was very swollen. He also cried a lot and said it hurt! At that time, several children were chasing him, and he accidentally fell down. When I found out, the child had already helped him up, and we comforted him for a while before he stopped crying!

But the child suddenly vomited at around three in the morning the next day, and then slept until around five in the morning and woke up to vomit. At around six o'clock in the morning, we gave her some breakfast and planned to take her to the hospital for a brain CT scan, but she vomited again not long after eating. I drove to the hospital in town and was told that their equipment was unclear and suggested that we go to the city hospital, which was more than an hour away. I vomited twice on the way and was really scared to death!

When I arrived at the hospital, I went to the emergency department and had a brain CT scan. I checked with an acquaintance and was told that it was just a slight concussion and nothing else, so I felt relieved!

Regarding your child, since he is only six months old and cannot express himself yet, the important thing is that the mother has observed it herself! When a child falls, especially one who is a month old, you should take the following steps:

When a child falls, it is difficult for you to judge whether the child is injured due to his young age. As long as it is not on a busy road and the child is safe, it is recommended to observe the child's reaction. If the child cries immediately after falling down and very loudly, it is basically not a big problem. However, if the child falls seriously and has no reaction, you should pay attention to whether the child has encountered something serious, and be careful not to cause secondary problems due to eagerness to help the child. harm!

If the child falls seriously, especially on the head, you should pay special attention to it and do not let the child sleep immediately after comforting him. If your child goes to bed immediately, you can’t tell whether it’s because he’s out of energy due to a fall or because he wants to sleep, so you should do something else to attract the child’s attention and don’t let the child go to sleep right away!

This is the case with my child. He cried loudly that day and didn't feel any discomfort. However, he vomited in the early morning of the next day. Therefore, if the child fell, it would not be the end of the day. You need to check the child's mental state in the next few days to see if there is vomiting or listlessness. If so, it is recommended to see a doctor directly and take X-rays if necessary to eliminate hidden dangers in time!

As for your child, if there is a crawling mat, the problem should not be serious. You can check yourself according to the steps I gave. If you find anything wrong, go to the hospital immediately!

Hello, let me answer your question.

My twin boys were dropped by me when they were 6 months old, which scared me to death. You are more relaxed than me! If the baby cries immediately after being dropped, the likelihood of brain injury is generally low. Babies are most afraid of fussing after falling. If they fall face down, the risk is generally small, and only trauma treatment can be done. When the baby falls on his head, you should go to the hospital immediately in the following situations:

1. Hemorrhagic trauma on the head

2. The baby does not cry after falling, but is not conscious enough and half-conscious. Coma and drowsiness.

3 Within two days after the fall, repeated vomiting, excessive sleep, poor energy or violent crying occurred.

4. Within two days after the fall, bleeding from the nose or ears, or watery discharge may occur!

If you fall asleep and fall asleep quickly after crying, you must not wake up for an hour. If you wake up and cry loudly, there is no problem!

Try to give it more rest and less activity within two days after the fall. If you are in good spirits and have a normal appetite within two days, you can rest assured!

I hope my answer is useful to you!

If you judge that there is nothing wrong with the child
