DS2 (15 months) fell and hit his eye against the corner of the wooden coffee table. A little pea sized lump came up immediately and a lot of redness, poor thing.

I've used arnica cream. Do you think he'll come up with a black eye in the morning?

He was very brave though! Only cried for 30 secs.

I'd keep a cold compress on it too & see how he is

Poor little chap.
Agree with Whizzz re the cold compress.
Maybe some medicine too, to help with the headache.
Don't let him go to sleep for a while.

Oh Clayre!!! . Poor little man, is he recovered yet?

DS2's not gone to sleep yet, I can hear him playing in his cot. Will give him some Calpol, in case he has a headache.

he did that about 2 years ago and there has been no lasting effects, hope your ds has a good nights sleep.

Phew, he's OK! No blackeye, just a tiny bruise. Thank goodness.
