I banged my baby's head on the ceiling. help!

I feel like a horrible mother. I was playing with DS and lifted him into the air and didnt notice the ceiling was low in this particular place in my apartment and I banged his head he cried for about a min. but now hes fine. should I take him to the hospital or just watch him??

If he seems fine, he's most likely fine and I would just watch him! One time, When my DD was just 12 months (10 months adjusted) she had a fever of 104.5. I freaked out, scooped her up and went to run downstairs with her. I banged her head into the door frame :/. Not super hard but still, I felt terrible. But she was fine. She cried and was fine after 5 minute or so.

As long as he acts normal then he is fine. & don't feel bad... I was nursing DD in a bathroom stall at a catering hall a few weeks ago & the lights were on a motion sensor so all of a sudden they turned off & we were in pitch black . DD freaked, I freaked. I ran out of the stall & to the door where the sensor was with DD still sideways on my boob with the top of my dress around my waist & bc i couldnt see a thing i hit DD's head on not one, but TWO stalls on the way there! She screamed & cried & had a bump on her head but was fine. I felt so bad. Like that old saying goes- sh!t happens!!!

I think he's probably fine, as long as he's acting ok. We've all had those moments! Try not to beat yourself up too much!!

I am sure he is fine. I cannot tell you how many times I hit my DCs heads while walking through a door way cradle holding them and not taking into account their head went out past my elbow

Thanks for the advice ladies. I decided to call the nurse. She said he should be fine but to wake him up in the middle of the night to make sure he is fine...Im not looking forward to doing this
