We've all been there! Don't worry he looks okay 🫶 my 2yo kicked my 4month old in the face the other day by accident 🤦🏻‍♀️ things happen.
The worst was when I dropped my phone on babys head while breastfeeding, awful mam guilt! Don't worry, your DS will be fine x

Give him a kiss and a cuddle and tell him you'll try not to do it again. You could try a cold compress maybe but mine always seemed to be more fussed by that than the injury!

Ice pack / cold compress, lots of cuddles and if your BFing then BF (for pain relief and comfort).
