Baby Fell And Hit Head On Hardwood Floor. It swelled up immediately and this morning there is an indentation in the middle of the bump. Sometimes an object will fall off of a table or furniture onto baby.
My son just fell straight backwards from a standing position and hit the back of his head on his playmat When DD was a baby she fell off the bed and on to a hardwood floor. It swelled up immediately and this morning there is an indentation in the middle of the bump. As the baby hit head on floor the skin bulges out the reason is the presence of skull right under the skin.
He seemed okay after but Im not sure if I should get him checked out.
These falls are usually only 1 to 2 feet high and almost never result in any significant injury even if onto a hard floor. If your child has fallen from this height onto a hard floor and you are sure they hit their head take your baby to the ER right away just to be on the safe side. If your child has hit her head on a hard surface because she fell from a high spot like her high chair or the changing table the threshold is 3 feet or higher for children under 2 years old and 5 feet or higher for kids 2 and older if she was hit in the head by a fast-moving object like a ball or if you spot any of the following symptoms call 911 or head to the emergency room with your toddler. My baby fell backwards when he was sitting up and hit the back of his head on the floor its carpeted.
