If your baby falls off the bed, couch or change table, here’s what you should be looking out for and next steps, including a visit to your doctor or hospital.It’s a heart-stopping moment if your baby falls off the bed, change table or couch. Whether you’re seeing it happen in what may seem like slow motion as you rush to catch them or you turn your back and suddenly hear a thump, it’s a pretty terrible feeling.
My general advice is to see how the baby is acting,” says Roxanne MacKnight, a family physician in Miramichi, NB. If they are crying but settle down and are their normal selves after a cuddle, they’re probably just fine .and gently apply a cold pack wrapped in a cloth. “If they’re acting abnormally—irritable, vomiting or seem off balance or dizzy when they’re crawling or walking—this could be a sign of a,” says MacKnight. “Also, watch to see if they’re not moving part of their body, like a leg or a wrist, or if a toddler doesn’t want to walk because that raises the possibility of a broken bone.” Tim Lynch, a paediatric emergency medicine physician in London, Ont., agrees.
?” If the doctor needs more information, they could order an X-ray or a CT scan or call in a specialist like a neurosurgeon for a consult.“The most common area for injury is the front part of the skull because most babies tend to fall forward when they land,” says Lynch. “The second most common is the back of the head, if they’ve fallen backwards off something.
