Is My Baby Alright After Falling?
My 5months 2weeks baby fell from bed to a hard cement, almost 1.5ft in height. He fell on his back, and he's already lying on the floor when I saw him. He never had bump or anything and has back to his normal activities minutes after the fall. Though he seems ok, Am still really worried. Please advise me waht to do. Thanks

Hello. I just read through your question.Falls in this age group are very common. The fact that he didn't lose consciousness upon falling clears him of any head injury. Returning to his normal activity rules out any other injury. In the absence of bruising or swelling, you do not have to be overly concerned. As long as his regular activity and feeding continues, he is fine.
