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 8 month old baby was sitting on the counter while filled his bottle. I always stand at the edge holding him, but the bottle knocked over and spilled so my quick reaction was to grab it, which left him without me holding on. He instantly leaned back and fell right off of the counter. He fell to the ground.. About 3 or 4 feet and fell onto the wood floor on his back hitting his head. What should I do? He is letting me touch his head and anywhere else it doesn t seem to be in pain but he seems very tired.
Hello. Welcome to HCM. If the baby has normal reactions your will be ok and do not need to worry, but do not let the baby fall asleep. Interact with him, keep him busy. If the baby sleeps for more than 2 hours wake him up and interact. If the baby does not respond to you take him to the hospital to be checked by a doctor. If the baby is totally normal than everything its ok.
