Is It Normal To Have Blue Bump On The Head Of A 14 Month Old?
Hi, my 14 month old just fell over in his crib and hit his head on a concrete corner as a result. He isn t displaying any odd symptoms, stopped crying after about a minute, and seems as happy as if nothing happened. There s a blue bump. Is it ok to let him fall asleep? Should I take him to the hospital anyway just in case?

Hello dear!
I can understand your concern.
If he is not showing signs of head trauma i.e, repeated vomitings,headache,unconsciuosness or drowsiness or bleed from any site like ear and nose,its ok to let him sleep.
Its not like you dnt have to make him sleep,but excessive sleep after head injury rather drowsiness is dangerous.
Hope it will help.
Wishing your child good health :-)
