Ethan just fell down and hit his head on the table.....

He was "running" (he can't run fully yet, but he walks really fast) and he lost his footing and hit his head on the leg of the dining room table. It's not a sharp edge, it's rounded.

His brow bone @ the end of his eyebrow is now swollen a little and red. It's a small bump...feels a little hard when you press it. He cried for a minute or two when it happened, and now he's fine.

Should we call the ped?? I don't think it's broken, otherwise he would still be crying, right? What do I do???

Try to get some ice on it. DS did this a few weeks ago while we were away. He actually got closer to his eye though. He was fine...

I am sure he is fine but what I have done when miki has bopped her head is

keep them up for one hour
check pupils with flashlight to make sure they open wide when you shine the light on them

this is all to ensure no concussion

my ped also told me that when they cry RIGHT away, this is a good sign

poor baby
