    I’m sorry to all the worried mommas in here! They will be okay. Knowing you are looking the information up to make sure shows how much you care. Kids are resilient and they will be okay. As a mom you know when something is wrong with your kid immediately. Trust your instinct and God bless you all. Don’t be so hard on yourself either. I know how that is. You’re doing great mommas!❤️🙏🏼

    I witnessed a toddler fall from about 5 feet from a slide ladder at the pool today. She landed on concrete on her back. Vomited about a minute after the fall. I felt so bad! Her mom took her to the hospital soon after. The sight was so scary for me. I am losing sleep over it.

But it’s been 3 days like that, the febrile been coming and going away the 3 days. I am really concerned 😢 Will be taking her to the doctor tomorrow, hope is nothing bad.

    @@Amandapuhlease Those types of head injuries are more common in older adults, and seems unlikely that an infant would have a subdural hematoma without significant impact that would also result in a concussion. A concussion is the most common and likely head injury to look out for. Those usually show up minutes or hours after an injury but could be delayed up to 48 hrs. I certainly wouldn't make a poor worried parent stress out about a subdural hematoma in their child. The child would have needed to suffer a significant impact for that to occur

    @@Amandapuhlease Well, yeah. Anything is possible with head injury, but I do believe the question was more regarding how long before you know there was any head injury in general. Concussions can be delayed up to 48 hrs but will usually appear much sooner then that. Subdural Hematoma is just another type of TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) that could occur. There is a lot more than just Subdural hematoma.

    please answer, my 9 month old baby was standing on the ground (she was holding on to the couch, she wasn’t physically ON the couch) the couch was her height and she lost balance and fell back onto the wooden floor. I’m really worried because she fell straight onto the floor onto the back of her head. So her head was quite red on where she fell and it got better a few mins later. She slept for a bit. I’m not sure if this relates to anything but she is crying over little things (she dropped her pacifier and started to cry, I left the room and she started to cry, she doesn’t usually cry over little things like that)

    @@Amandapuhlease The surface they fall onto also matters. If they fall onto tile, the injury will be much more significant than carpet from the same height. Carpet has a lot of padding that will minimize the injury by a significant margin. That's probably why they didn't give out a height since an infant falling off a couch onto carpet will likely result in no injury, while the same fall onto tile will be pretty significant.

    I was holding my 5 month old baby when I abruptly turned and tripped over my 2 year old who was right at my feet. The three of us fell and my 5 month old took the hardest hit to the floor. I injured my elbow and hope that my elbow broke our fall before my infant's forehead hit the cement floor. I can't remember which hit the floor first though. My baby quit crying and fell asleep after about 6 or 7 minutes maybe ? It was nap time anyway. He's sleeping now and so far I've been able to awaken him when I want to. I hope he's okay. My two year old recovered quickly and Is back to playing and having fun.
