9 Things To Do When Baby Bumps Head
When you have a baby who is just learning how to walk or crawl in the house, accidents are almost impossible to prevent. So do not get upset every time your baby bumps his/her head because it is bound to happen no matter how careful or watchful you are as a parent. Your baby bumps his/her head on the floor, walls and from falls. However, it is important to know when you must take the baby's head bumps seriously.
EARLY SIGNS OF AUTISM IN TODDLERS
As a new parent, it might be hard to estimate how much your baby is hurt by the injury. The best way to know is to observe your baby's behaviour. Do not panic if your baby bumps his/her head on the floor. First, you must try some first aid. Usually, these small bumps, nicks and cuts can be treated at home. Only if your baby has severe bleeding or obvious signs of a concussion, then you need to worry.
No baby grows up without a few bumps on his or her head. But do not become complacent. You need to understand when you can afford to relax and when you need to worry about your baby's head bumps. Here is a complete to-do list in case your baby gets a head bump.
Rub It Hard
As soon as your baby bumps his or her head, hold it and rub it hard with your palm. This will not allow any blood clots to form inside the head. The baby will cry but you still have to do this.
Check For Cuts
Check for cuts and nicks on the head. When your baby bumps his/her head from a fall, it is possible to get cuts from sharp objects. Use an antiseptic on these cuts immediately.
See If It Swells
Wait for 30 minutes to see if the baby's head bump swells. There is nothing to worry if the head injury results in a swelling. It can still be treated at home.
Apply Ice
As soon as you see a swelling, apply ice immediately. Ice helps to soothe the pain and also reduces the swelling that has formed on the baby's head.
Which Part Of The Head Is Hit
You need to examine which part of the baby's head has the bump. Usually, front side head bumps are relatively less dangerous. But if the baby hits the back of the head, it might be a cause for worry.
How Long Does The Baby Cry
If the baby is cranky even after 15 minutes of the fall or hasn't stopped crying at all, you need to be concerned. May be, you should wait for another 10 minutes and then rush to some medical facility.
Broken Bones
If your baby has any broken bones, then he or she will obviously not stop crying. The bump might be there even when there is a fracture. In severe cases, you can actually see the deformed bone from outside.
Are There Any Concussions?
Concussions after a fall are cause for worry. If you baby feels sleepy, dizzy or vomits or has seizures after a fall, you must rush to the nearest hospital immediately. These are obvious signs of concussions which suggest that there has been some internal injury.
Loss Of Consciousness
If your baby looses consciousness after his/her head bumps, then you need to seek emergency medical help. Sometimes, loss of consciousness can be just shock, but you still need to get it checked.
