I was putting my 1 month old baby in the baby swing last night and he rolled out of my arms and hit the floor (about 1.5 to 2 feet on the carpet). He tensed up and cried for 2 or 3 minutes and I immediatly breastfed him and he seemed fine. He slept well last night and doesn t seem to be acting out of the ordinary. Should I call his Dr. or just watch for certain signs?
Hello, I can understand your concern. As the child is not crying excessively as if in pain and is comfortable otherwise, there is nothing to worry about. Fortunately, the floor where the child fell was carpeted which cautioned the blow. However, the symptoms you should watch for are excessive crying, vomiting, appearance of swelling on head or anywhere else on body etc. If he develops any if these, a doctor should be seemed immediately. I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Take care. Best,
