Poor Baby

My baby fell down on my metal side desk trying to pull herself up on it( I didn’t catch her in time because I was distracted 😩🤦🏽‍♀️) and hit near her eye. It left a small bruise which is currently a mixture between purple and red. Should I take her to be evaluated? And if not what should I do to treat it? And how long will it take to go away?

I would put some frozen peas in a towel on it to help the bruising

@Marina I’ve been trying to put her frozen teether on it lol but she moves around so much. So, it’s difficult lol. But I’ll try the peas maybe when she falls asleep? Thank you!

Awww, poor baby, pray she gets better soon. Mine did similar, but on the glass TV stand, she bonked her noggin on the side and had a reddish bruise it went away in like a week or so, though. As long as she's still acting herself and the bubbly baby she normally is, I'm sure she's fine. However, if she isn't, then yes, I'd go get her checked.

I’ll pass my most recent advice, check up on them. If their behavior hasn’t changed (as in they’re not vomiting or extra tired, sleepy…), there’s not an abnormal bleeding, then hugs and kisses are good. Apparently babies and kids, are very resilient. I would freak out about every single time my kid would hurt himself. One time he fell back while holding on to a plastic gate, and had a bad bruise in his head. I called a million doctors and I would try to record him while he was playing and dancing. I made a spectacle out of myself… my kid was unaware of how I was on the verge of dying or that he was bruised. (Just realized this is 2weeks old. Hope they’re better.)
