Fumes From Bleach Harmful For Child?

Hi I cleaned the carpeting my 5 months old baby s nursery earlier today with a fair amount of bleach and whilst it seems to have dried out and the windows have been open all day I am concerned that inhalation of the fumes may be harmful to him. Please could you tell me if I need to remove him from the room or justo keep an eye out for an coughing etc. he seems fine now. Many thanks
