my 8th month old baby fell off the bed several times already, but this time it was head first. what do i have to do to assure that he's fine and nothing wrong is gonna happen to him in the future as a result of the fall? and after he cried he fell asleep, is that okay?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. Thank you for your question. this is a very common occurrence with babies. The important thing for now is that he cried immediately after the fall and didn't lose consciousness. at that point, it is ok for him to sleep. The only other thing to watch out for is vomiting in the first 24 hours after the fall. If this happens, contact your doctor immediately, even if it's the middle of the night. If this doesn't happen, you have nothing to be worried about.
