Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 6 month old grandson is just starting to sit up. He was sitting on a sectional next to me. I got up to turn around and pick him up and when I did, me getting up made him lose his balance and he rolled off of sectional to floor where there was tile floor and area rug. It was about 18 inches. I tried to catch him but did not. He cried for a few minutes but then was fine. I think mainly it scared him cause I gasped when I saw him falling. I do not think he hit is head just his body and he rolled. We looked him over from head to toe and there was not a scratch or bruise on him. This happened 48 hrs ago. He slept well like always the first night but last night he was up and down some but this morning played and laughed just still a little irritable. He also had his 6 months shots the day before and the doctor told him he was starting to teeth. My mother and father in law said that everything is ok and that babies do this all the time. It made me feel so bad. Can you calm my nerves on this one.
Hello. I just read through your question. I hear this story 2-3 times per week. It is very common and you should not worry or feel guilty. At this point, enough time has passed since the fall that we can be reassured that no injury occurred. The irritability is certainly due to either the teething, the vaccines, or a combination of both. You truly have no need to worry.
