Head Bonk!: Oh gosh, so sorry to hear this. This does not sound like a concerning mechanism to me for serious injury. Does she have a contusion ( bruise ) forming? Watch her for signs of poor feeding or sleepiness at an unusual time of day. Go ahead and put her down for a nap at nap time If she vomits or appears sick to you, have her seen by your pediatrician. Again, this mechanism is very low risk.
