3 month old bump on head (hard)

I'm ashamed to say I just accidentally dropped my iPhone onto my baby's head :( it just slipped out of my hands and hit him on the eyebrow while he was snuggled up by me.
Am worried now. He seems fine in himself, just cried a little, was comforted when I cuddled/fed him and is moving about fine now. He is getting a bump on his eyebrow.
What should I do/look out for?
Please reassure me he'll be fine!

I think we have all done simillar please don't beat yourself up. I think, and this is what I have alway done when my dc got a clink on the head but I am not a doctor, as long as he stays alert and doesn't go lethargic or floppy he is fine. I also hve been told that bangs to the back of the head are more likely to be serious. Hugs.

Thanks befuzzled. Feel like an idiot for having done it as it was totally my own fault and the phone is so heavy! Am scared to get him to sleep now (silly, I know!) as I'll be checking him every five minutes!
I had a feeling bumps on the back of the head would be worse too. I'm sure he'll be fine! :-S

I know, you feel terrible but really I am sure is fine! I recently was cutting my 3G olds nails and nicked the skin and made it bleed, felt awful! No harm in frequent checks (or let him sleep downstairs with you?) but I m sure he is fine if has been alert, feeding well etc x

Thanks for coming back to reassure me again! He does seem ok, we've ha smiles since it happened so he can't be too traumatised! Will be more careful with my bloody phone in future! :)
