Baby fell from bed
Hi, My 7 month old baby is very super active and has fallen numerous times from bed, couch, etc. Since, he doesn't sit properly, he has fallen on the floor while sitting and playing as well. He falls once or twice daily playing on the floor.
He had fallen 1 month back on the edge of the bed and got a big bump on the left side of head. It had swollen badly. The bump is still there but is less now. Otherwise baby is very active and there is no pain or crying. Is everything ok? Please suggest.

The main concern in head injuries is whether the brain is traumatized or not.
In case of brain trauma,there will be unconsciousness ,persistent vomiting,altered behavior and sleep pattern,and seizures.
These may appear up-to 72 hours in very young babies.
Be careful!!
