Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Being a parent myself i understand your concern and apprehension
The baby looks absolutely fine and there is no cause for concern.
If you notice any of the signs , consult Pediatrician/Pediatric Surgeon at earliest
1. Excessive crying or excessive sleeping
2. Abnormal movements of the body which could be convulsion
3. Persistent Vomiting: 1 or 2 episode of vomiting is quite common in Pediatric Head injury and is not cause for concern.
4. Loss of consciousness
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
