What should I do if my infant fell on the floor?

Answer 1

First of all, you shouldn't be wasting time typing this question. It's always better safe than sorry. Take your baby to the hospital immediately, and pray no one finds out that you're a complete idiot that would rather bullshit on the computer than be a parent.

Answer 2

My daughter Kateline began walking when she was 10 months old.Once she fell and she was scared.Then she refused to walk until she became 1 year and 2 months old.So I guess you have to pick up the baby and if it's not scared from the falling,make him/her try again.Or give some rest to forget the accident.My other kids have also fallen a lot when learning how to walk but only Kateline was so scared,the others even tried to stand up(maybe because they fell on the mattress or the Persian rug and Kateline fell on the floor.Anyway when learning how to walk don't let her/him walk on a thick floor if you think he/she will fall.Let them walk somewhere where falling won't cause a lot of damage.

Answer 3

It depends. Is she a brand new newborn who fell from the counter top onto ceramic tile as you were giving her a sponge bath? If so, take her to the emergency room. Is she a 5 month old baby who was sitting on the sofa and feel onto deeply padded carpet? Watch her for signs of a concussion (unequal size pupils that don't react to light, vomiting, extreme fussiness, extreme tiredness). Without knowing any specifics, it's hard to know what you should do. In any event, call your baby's pediatrician and tell him/her what happened and see what the doctor recommends.

Answer 4

It depends on a few things, like how old she is and how far she fell. If it was like off the couch or something, check her out, make sure once she stops crying that everything looks okay. Did she hit anything on the way down? Land on an arm off key? If you're worried, it never hurts to take her to the doctors and have her checked.

Answer 5

Pick the poor thing up and give it lots of TLC. Make sure the baby is ok...no broken bones. Maybe give it a dose of baby tylenol to subside any pain. Other than that, be more careful with your kid! Don't set your baby on high surfaces. Have some common sense!!!!

Answer 6

Pick up your baby- does she seem okay? Any obvious bumps or bruises? If there aren't any, your child is likely just fine.

Nursing her (if you nurse) is always a good idea- breastmilk actually contains substances that will make her feel better.

Listen to your intuition, though- if anything seems wrong to you at all, you want to see a doctor. Mamas know when there's something not right with their babies.

Check the link; it has good information.

Answer 7

It really depends on how hard it hit the floor. Check it's head and don't let your baby sleep for an hour or two. You don't want it to get a concussion.

Answer 8

a lot of depends - how old is he/she? Pick the baby up, check them out...if there are no scratches or scrapes, and the baby didn't hit their head...they are fine. If the baby hit their head....an still no scratches or scrapes, pay attention for fussiness, and DO NOT let the baby go right to sleep....keep them awake for a couple hours just to ensure it is not a head injury. If the baby is sleepy, lethargic, or really fussy.....take them to be seen immediately.

Good luck - :)

Answer 9

if they their fall was from a greater distance than their height, take thm to the doctor or ER for a checkup. If not, just watch them to make sure they arent showing any signs of serious injury.

Answer 10

Turn yourself into the police. j/k

No, but you should have taken the baby to the doctor atleast. But make sure to just keep a close eye on baby.
