A member asked:
My 7.5 week old baby forcefully threw her head back and hit it into my chest. she cried for a minute but was acting normal after. is she okay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely normal: The back of a babies head is made of thick bone and tolerates plenty of force.From the description you provide, I don't think it did any harm.It may have startled baby at the time, but if she's acting fine, just relax and enjoy. Its never easy with a baby.
