A member asked:

My 10 month old was taking a nap on my bed. he sleeps on his stomach, and was scooting on his belly. suddenly he scooted head first onto the ground, he cried. no bump or bruise. but still worried. acting normally. does this warrant a dr visit?

The kid who is NOT knocked out, disoriented or confused @ the time of the injury is probably fine. Confusion or repeated episodes of vomiting in the hours after trauma deserve a look over by the dr.Kids under 8 can be allowed to nap on their regular schedule, with you checking in on occasion.Cold compresses can reduce the swelling, if the kid will let you.

Watch for any changes and please follow up with your Pediatrician. Discuss safety proofing your home. Playtime should be on the floor with close observation.
