Eight month old fell and hit his head. how do i prevent any injury?

Watch closely: If the child did not lose consciousness, in all likelihood he or she will not have had a serious brain or skull injury. However, if the child shows any irritability, vomiting, excessive sleepiness, or any other change in behavior, seek medical attention immediately. If there was any loss of consciousness, even briefly, you should seek medical attention immediately.
