Bumped head :(

Hey. Don’t feel horrible about it. I’m sure it won’t be the last time he gets a bump! It’s all learning for him too in a way.

As long as he’s not being sick and he’s ok in himself I wouldn’t worry too much much and this will be the first of many bumps

It will not be the last. While it's good to keep an eye open for signs of concussion, 99 out of 100 times if they don't fall on anything sharp and don't fall from higher than their own hight they'll be fine once they get through the scare of the ordeal. Not making too big a deal out of it can help them regulate too. My kid hits his head *constantly* because he's a climber and almost walking now but most of the time I just say "you good buddy?" And if he just squeeks and moves on I know he's good, and if he actually cries I know it actually hurt and can react accordingly.

he bumped it on one of the dresser drawer edges :/ that’s why I was panicked but I kind of cushioned his fall a bit so I don’t think it was a hard hit more like a graze.

girl don’t feel bad i can promise you that won’t be the last time. boys literally hurt themselves for fun i have 2 boys. 17 months and 4 months. my 17 month old literally hit his head 5 minutes before i read your post and left this comment. just try not to panic too much and run too fast to his aid if he appears physically okay. they’ll milk you for it when they want your attention. pretend to get hurt just to get you to act urgently because they know it will create that rush in you.

Boys are tough, lots of cuddles and kisses ❤️

Don’t feel bad for panicking. My little one is 20 months old and he is soooo very accident prone. Every time he gets hurt I still think about it for days and have anxiety thinking if he truly is ok. Your emotions are valid. Just keep an eye on him and if you notice anything alarming contact your pediatrician or go see a doctor.
