My 9 month old son fell of my bed this morning ( about 6 hrs ago & bed is about 3 ft tall). what symptoms should i be concerned about?

A few things: Did the baby hit a hardwood floor or carpet? Did he cry right away? If he had any loss of consciousness, vomiting, or if he is not moving one of his extremities or seems in pain or is irritable, i would take him to the er. If he hit his head on a hard surface, i would also get him evaluated as he is under 12 months of age. If he otherwise seems fine, but expereinces any of the above, go to er!

Neurological: Any change from normal should alarm you enough to bring your child to the emergency room.
