Is My 6 Week Old Baby All Right After Falling From Couch?

my 6 week old fell off couch. Cried for 1-2 min. Stayed awake for 45 min after. Has been sleeping for 5 hours except to nurse twice but both sessions shorter than normal. No visible bruising or bumps. Stretches and wiggled but no eyes open or alertness. Not sure if im being hyper aware or if something night be wrong.

hi,

if your baby hit his head then this could make him more sleepy than normal. if he is waking and feeding then he is likely OK. if he becomes drowsy, starts vomiting or stops feeding then seek further medical attention.

best wishes
