DC (11 months ) fell out of his high chair this morning during breakfast. Must've catapulted himself out. Should he be taken to the doctors? I'm told he is sleeping now.

Possibly outing but here he is.

Cutie!

That’s quite a bump though.

DS launched himself backwards out of his pram during the summer- onto concrete. Picked him up and his nose started bleeding- very worrying obviously- though couldn’t be certain if he’d knocked it on the way down or not.

Felt instinctively - this is one I need checking- Whizzed him to a&e- where we sat for 6 hours waiting to see a dr- who took one Look and pronounced him fine. But I felt better for being there, where the help was, for that observation period.

If you feel he needs to be seen- have him seen.

What a cutie!
That is quite a bump.
Also, another reason to take him to get checked out today is if he were to get worse and you take him in a day or two then the drs will want to know why you left it so late and they may keep a record of it or inform SS. A friend of mine works in a hospital and they mentioned this to me a while ago.

I think your husband should take him - that's quite a bump and should be checked out just for peace of mind. Hope you are ok, what a shock for you all!

He’s absolutely lovely.
But I agree that is quite a bump and for peace of mind I would have him checked over

I got him to ring the doctor to log it at least so there is no backlash. Doctor wasn't concerned at all as I thought.
