LO hit his head on the pavement face first when he was 2. We did take him to the hospital because he developed a big welt on his forehead immediately after the accident. He was monitored for an hour and before we got released. He was fine. The doctor said that in regards to impacts to the head, the forehead results in the least trauma. </p> autumnlove on "If your toddler fell forehead first onto the floor..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-toddler-fell-forehead-first-onto-the-floor#post-1042249 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 11:52:10 +0000 autumnlove 1042249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wait and see. I hope she is ok! </p> luckypenny on "If your toddler fell forehead first onto the floor..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-toddler-fell-forehead-first-onto-the-floor#post-1042234 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 11:36:05 +0000 luckypenny 1042234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only would if they are asking different than usual, less responsive or the swelling is really bad after 20 mins. I'm so scared of falls but my rational side tells me they're more than likely okay </p> Dandelion on "If your toddler fell forehead first onto the floor..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-toddler-fell-forehead-first-onto-the-floor#post-1042221 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 11:29:08 +0000 Dandelion 1042221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wait and see. Is she tired? I only ask cause my Ds gets more clumsy when he's sleepy. That could be the cause of her fall and the additional slip ups. </p> Freckles on "If your toddler fell forehead first onto the floor..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-toddler-fell-forehead-first-onto-the-floor#post-1042207 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 11:13:32 +0000 Freckles 1042207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would you take a wait and see approach or take him/her to the doctor right away?</p> <p>LO was playing around while standing on the sofa and catapulted off the side onto the hardwood floor, face first. The sound was so loud. :( She cried for a minute and had a bump on her forehead. She seems back to her normal self so i'm not worrying too much (I know the usual drill since it's not the first time she has taken a spill) but this one seemed to really hurt. She seems a little more shaky on her legs (she's tripped a couple of times more easily), which is the only thing that's worrying me.</p> <p>Would you just wait and see? Be more concerned? </p>
