Toddler cut his head, due to fly

[Kellie137]

My DD had a nasty fall on Tuesday, 😭 it required a trip to our local hospital to have a few butterfly stitches. Shes only two and I’m more bothered than what she is. We are due to go on holiday on Sunday and I’m getting anxious about going. I know it’s silly but I’m terrified that she’s going to knock her head and knock the stitches and cause the wound to open up more. I won’t be with my partner and this terrifies me more. She’s into knocking her head on surfaces when she gets frustrated or upset. What if she has a meltdown on the plane because she’s restricted to my lap and knocks her head? What is she falls? I know lots of what ifs. We will still be in the uk when on holiday but I just can’t seem to get rid of my anxiety, sounds pathetic I know but it’s just really shaken me up her hurting herself. What would you lovely MN do?

Totally understandable to be worried but most kids will fall and injure themselves at some time, it's just what they do! If it happened on Tuesday and only needed butterfly stitches it'll prob be almost healed by tomorrow. You can buy paper stretches in the chemist though if you were worried about them coming off. And if she falls and splits it again, you just do the same as if you were home and take her to hospital. Go on holiday and have fun!
