DS doesn't go to daycare (I'm a SAHM) but I babysit a little girl. I have been watching her since she was 6 weeks old and she's about to be 2. When she was learning how to walk she fell a few times and hit her head on toys. She had a few bigger bumps on her head but I was always watching her it's just something that happens with LO's. Her Mom never acted upset about the bumps and bruises. I always did call her when it happened to let her know what happened.

No. My son got a black eye just after he learned to walk and was using a push toy and stumbled over his feet and hit the handle of the push toy on the way down. It happens. The fact that they could tell me exactly what happened to create the bruise reassures me that they were watching. I don't expect them to hover over him or he wouldn't learn to figure out how to do some things for himself. If they weren't quite sure of how the bruise or such occurred, I'd be more concerned. Heck, he gets hurts at home standing still sometimes (dog comes by and hip checks him and down he goes) and I know I'm watching.
