I was feeding my newborn baby (1 week n 3 days old). My three year old punched him on his head, the baby cryed alittle but is fine. Should I worry?

Family practice . If he has stopped crying and is acting with normal sucking i wouldn't worry too much. Things like that will happen should be fine.
Thank
