ok big fall banging head on concrete - 19 months

[bumbly]

little one has always had falls but today

tried to get out of pram from tethered in...got out and fell backwards and banged head on road

huge screams and would not let me console him

under hair blood and scrapes

my a and e have several times said 5 hour waiting list so i put ice etc

he clamed down and is now napping

do kids just keep falling? have you had a kid fall backwards onto road?

argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes they keep on falling, but personally I would get him checked out after that, can you take him to your GP?

If you phone NHS Direct they can advise you further - they have a list of checks you can do and will advise you whether to take to A&E. Remember A&E has triage so he may be seen quite quickly.

My DD1 fell all the time at a similar age - probably up until 2 (went to her own christening with a black eye). She once climbed onto our patio table and fell onto the concrete patio. She was fine - if he seems ok I would keep an eye on him, rouse him in the night once or twice.

DD1 did grow out of it.

have you seen someone yet ?

I would have gone straight to A&E.

No way would they have left him for 5 hours with no one checking him over.

no one seen him - bit of scabs on head

when last went to a and e i walked out cuz waiting was five hours - even though my son has huge egg on his forhead form hitting face down concrete floor

here everything is useless

well, I think they should have been more attentive. You should complain.
