16 month old threw herself back in her booster seat and hit head on the floor-please help/advise/reassure me

[annababy]

Just feeding dts,it's all quite full on as u can imagine,when dd pushed her legs on the table and flung herself back before I had a chance to catch her.she was strapped in,back of her head banged the wooden rest on the chair as it hit the floor.floor is carpeted,do I need to take her to a&e to check her?never usually pfb but this is the first biggie iykwim

How far did she actually fall?

Sat on a normal chair-probably 50cms with her booster seat on top.

If I were you, I'd just watch her and if she seems drowsy or unresponsive at all, off to a+e/call ambulance. If she just yelled and then calmed down, she'll probably be fine - my DS (19 months) is forever flinging himself onto hard surfaces from high up (chairs, steps, ladders, the table - you name it, the little sod has leapt from it), and apart from an seeming inability to sleep, he seems normal!

Thanks kveta,phoned nhs direct and they checked a few things as well she seems ok.phoned dp he went mad
