One of my 6 month old twin boys, Kieran, today, around 3:10pm decided to try headbut my phone and ended up hitting his eyebrow, he now has a little pink bump on it.
He had a bottle 2pm and usually has a little sick after a bottle (over a week ago went doctors they said it was because of a little tummy bug and would be over soon). Anyways, he hadn’t thrown up until after he hit his head, he had 2 little amounts of sick like usual but had now just projectile vomited all over himself as well as me.
I’m sure the two aren’t connected, but could it be?? Should i give calpol? i’m probably being paranoid but just need advice on wether i should be doing something or not..
Thanks xx
Picture of my boy so i don’t get lost xx

I don't think headbutting a phone would do any damage, is he otherwise ok?

i’m sure it’s nothing i’m just an over thinker lol.. he seems okay within himself as this just happened less than half hour ago xx

He is beautiful 😊

thank you very much xx

update: he has now projectile vomited a second time x

@Grace if you're really worried call 111, my motto is: if in doubt, get checked out x

Just to try and ease your mind - My girl has head butted my phone so many times, she’s just crawled head first into the door frame and has a pink mark on her head but she’s fine. When she was about 6/7 months, she swung her head and gave herself a massive thump on the cot bars 😭 I agree with Alex, I don’t think a phone would do a lot of damage, but because of the projectile vomiting I’d call 111 for your peace of mind. I called after the cot incident and the questions they asked were about vomiting, if she knocked herself unconscious, are her eyes dilating when a light is shined in them, is she behaving like normal and is she leaking fluid from ears/nose. I’m sure he’s absolutely fine, these babies are a lot more durable than we give them credit for! X

Always ring 111 if you're worried. Is he sleepy/grumpy? The fact a bump gas vome up is a good thing. If just ting 111 to put your mind at rest xx

do you think it’s serious? xx

A head injury and then vomiting should also be investigated.
Normally I’d say head butting a phone can’t have been that bad, but it was bad enough to leave a bump.
Head injury bad enough to leave a mark plus vomiting that isn’t normal, I’d phone 111.
You won’t ever regret taking extra care with your baby

A bump head and vomiting is worth checking out lovely 🫶🏼

I’d ring 111 if you’re concerned if he’s vomiting then I’d get it checked xx

call 111 if you feel something isnt right. Then get some advice

I'm a first time mom if I've learn anything from this app and friends family it's better to be safe and get your baby checked if your gut is telling you to take him take him. I'm a over thinker as well so getting her checked put my mind to ease to just figure out what was wrong and how to take care of her.

Hey I agree with all the other mums and I’d get him checked out just in case. Better safe than sorry ❤️🩹
How is he doing now? X

he slept for over and hour and has just had his bedtime bottle, so he’s looking better, just going to see how he goes through the night x

Vomiting can be a sign of concussion- i wouldn’t think you could get a concussion from head butting a phone, but you should go get him looked at by a doctor just in case.

Defo keep him close and keep an eye on him hun.
I dont take any chances with my LO and if worried id call 111 x

Maybe call 111, but on a side note, he’s absolutely gorgeous!!! 😍

Definitely call 111, vomiting after a head bump is a sign of concussion and it’s never something you want to ‘wait and see’ always better to be ok the safe side xx

Sounds like you might need to change his formula a baby should never be sick after eating. Goat milk formula would be amazing it’s closest to breast milk. When he’s over a year oat milk is a great sub. But if baby is drinking Simalic That needs to stop asap it’s killing babies. My son bumps his head at least 3 times a day and has never vomited afterwards. So idk I hope he feels better soon he’s beautiful

Head injury + vomiting needs to be assessed in urgent care/a&e to be on the safe side

we don’t use that brand of milk in the uk. Ours is heavily regulated more than the US.

Call 111
