Panic!!!

[Deleted member 28403]

My mom was changing baby brothers diapers and he slided down and fell onto the floor. Dad is on road and we are here panicking. He fell of 90 cm tall baby station and slided onto floor. He is crying and I don't know what to do. To shocked to react. Help. Called ambulance already but they won't come but demand my mom to go to the hospital with him. I don't know what to do.

How hard was the floor and exactly how did he land on the floor (his back, belly, head?). How old is your baby brother?

You're baby brother is responsive and is crying so that is good, I have been around babies who have fallen from high heights and are fine afterwards but I recommend pushing you're mom to bring him to the hospital, especially considering the ambulance demanded that as well.

If there was no time gap between the fall and him crying that is a good sign.

Calling taxi, he had some red on the forehead, above eyebrows. He slided off the thing as he jumps around a lot. He is 9 months old and he keeps putting his hand on the back right of his head and he is a bit pale. I feel guilty, though it was not my fault.

If he hit his head and is less than two years old, your mom should take him to the doctor or hospital to be checked out. Most likely is is just precautionary, but here in the US that is what is recommended anytime a child less than 2 years old hits their head.

Feeling guilty is a normal response when someone you love is hurting even though you couldn't have changed the situation. He's probably pale from crying and it's good that he is able to move his arms.

He will probably be fine but its a good thing your Mum is getting him checked out. Poor little one. I did something similar with my son at 3 months and still feel awful about it! He was fine.

He hasn't stopped jelling for more than 10 seconds for more than a hour. Taxi didn't come jet.

Make sure he's alert and responding. My son had delayed concussion after he hit is head on a door and ended up with concussion . I don't mean to worry you but please make sure you have him checked out by a dr. Try not to panic. In my prayers x

In my medical background I can tell you that a crying screaming child is less hurt than a quiet withdrawn one. Always have an assessment done after any head injury. Let us know the outcome
