Help! i'm extremely worried about my 6 mth baby who hit the back of her head on my wooden dresser! she fell off my bed which is about 2or 3 ft high?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
She will be ok : The wooden floor and 2-3 ft height is not dangerous. Apply ice to her back of the head. Make sure she is drinking milk, / breast feeding she is sucking allright and she is responding to her name. Moving her arms and legs equally. Flash light on her eyes and see if sheresponds by closing the eyes, if she continues to be lythargic and develops big bump on the back of the head, take her to er.
