My kneed knocked on my 7 week old baby on top of head. I hope he's ok ?

[sarahhoping]

While my baby was lying on our bed, and I was trying to get on bed, next to him, my knee slightly hit him on top of my head.
My husband who saw this screamed at the top of his lung at me for negligence,
I don't know if it was him shouting or my knock to head, baby was startled for a second and started crying .
I hope the baby's ok and I have done him no damage :(

Your husband sounds like a peach

Our paediatrician told us that if the baby is conscious and cries less than ten minutes it’s unlikely to be anything serious.

Unless it was a very hard hit to the head, everything should be fine. Accidents happen.
How hard was the bump? If just a little bump, it was probably your husbands shout that caused the crying.
Although everyone is as careful as they can be, these things do happen.
Babies with older siblings can be knocked slightly by their enthusiastic siblings giving cuddles etc. It happens!

Actions wise it all depends on how hard the bump was.

Your baby is almost certainly fine (assuming since you didn't mention that they cried for hours, are unconscious, or that they now have a big dent or lump), your husband sounds like a dick though.

Don't beat yourself up about it, accidents happen and a slight knock with no ongoing pain/swelling/ signs of concussion isn't anything to be concerned about. Babies can pretty dramatic about things :)

My 5 month old is just starting to sit up and this week I missed catching her as she wobbled over and she bumped her head on my knee. Cue about twenty seconds of dramatic cries whilst I felt terrible and then she quickly forgot the trauma and carried on playing. DH saw the whole thing but managed to not make me feel awful about it, just laughed it off as my normal inability to catch anything and said baby was fine. Because you know, he's not a complete dick. Your husband's reaction sounds far worse than anything you did, does he normally behave like that?

[SpillTheTeaa]

Firstly, your husband needs to calm the fuck down and realise it's an accident.
I'm sure your baby will be fine.
8 mo DS was in the bed with me in the night and I woke up to a bang he had hit his bloody head on the metal bed frame! He cried for about a minute. It sounded worse than what it was but was still horrible to hear!
I always worry they will get some sort of brain damage.

OP here. Yes the baby did cry for sometime, not much though . He had a bath as per schedule of the day
and we were able to rock him to sleep.
He's sleeping now
My husband is an over-thinking and drama queen no offense :P
Actually he's dramatic and worries a lot for the baby's wellbeing

[SpillTheTeaa]

You shouldn't allow a baby or anyone to sleep until a whole afterwards from a bang to the head

[DivGirl]

@SpillTheTeaa That's untrue. For a small bump to the head and no symptoms of being concussed they can sleep as normal, just keep an eye on them.

[sarahhoping]

OP here again.
Baby woke up , peed , and was crying normally a little bit out of hunger but responded to distractions at calming him,
now breastfeeding him.
He's calm now

The toddler years are going to be fun in your house...

Is your husband usually this aggressive towards you?

[sarahhoping]

OP here.

"The toddler years are going to be fun in your house..."
haha I fear him hurt

"Is your husband usually this aggressive towards you?"
only when he thinks I am being even tiny amount of reckless with the child. For instance "Don't hold the child's neck like that"
I think he's overly concerned

[Fishbaby]

Sounds like your hubby needs a chill pill. I accidentally whacked my baby on the corner of her next to me cot. Poor bubba. But she's fine.

Much more likely your husband's shouting scared the baby. Mine will cry at stern noises. So tell him to quit scathing your baby and keep his trap shut.

Also taking to you like that cannot be excused by "he's a drama queen/overly concerned". I assume he's an adult so he should be able to regulate his own behaviour.
