What should i do if my 5 month old bumps her head?

Question

she rolled over and hit the table...her head a small pea sized lump but its bruised

Answer 1

kiss it...kids are gonna get hurt

Answer 2

put some ice on it, wrapped in a towel. ice in a ziploc bag will cause it to become more painful. i wouldn't let her fall asleep for at least an hour. keep her awake and stimulated. you might think that it is a small thing, but you never know. if she throws up continually or anything, or is hard to wake up later (if she does fall asleep after the hour) call the doctor. just watch her for any signs that aren't normal for her. my son hit his head on a stand up toy connected to his walker. it sounds stupid, but he was trying to throw a fit and he arched. he was ok, but later when i talked to the doc ( he had appt. next day) the doc gave me a sheet to look over if it ever happend again.- i mean,t to put the ice in a ziploc wrapped in a towel, not ice & ziploc by itself.

Answer 3

1st kiss the boo boo then put some ice on it

Answer 4

Dont let her go to sleep for 2hours after the accident...check for sickness, change in behaviour and feeding etc...If any change go straight to a and e. Keep an eye on baby for 2 days.. As they cant speak its a lil harder to find out whats goin on...Dont give medicine give plenty fluids and lots of cuddles.

Answer 5

im shure its fine keep a cold compres on it and kiss it to make her feel better.  

Answer 6

It will be fine just apply a cold compress, only panic if she starts being sick without good reason as this is a sign of a head injury.
