Baby fell on face from sitting, worried

[Dahlia5]

Currently on the phone to 111 but wondering if any of you have some advice or similar experience.
Our 6 month old baby fell on his face from sitting position (he was sat on the floor and DH left him unsupported for "2 seconds" when it happened), there was a bit of crying and nose bleed, but after 5-10 min he was fine.
What I'm worried about is that when he smiles or makes faces his bottom jaw is kind of pushed to the side? He's breastfeeding, chewing and gnawing like normal and doesn't seem in pain.
I'm so worried his jaw got misplaced and will remain like this forever? Could it hopefully be only a muscle twitch or similar making it?

The same happened to DD a few months ago at same age. They are fast little things when they want to be.

Hope he's ok.

Hope he's ok.

What her jaw damaged, what was the outcome?

Hope he's ok x

Oh my, i'm far from the over worrying type but yes, take him to the doctor.

Hope you and babe are ok OP. Accidents happen and I'm sure there won't anything lasting x

Glad he is being seen and I hope he is ok. I hope DH is ok too.

Hope he is okay xx
Don't feel bad OP, accidents happen. No matter how vigilant you are

That’s good you’re being seen in A and E. I know you’ll be a nervous wreck but we’ve all been there when normally so careful etc and hopefully you’ll get some good news shortly from the doctor.

Don’t feel guilty…that is negative energy! My daughter dislocated her elbow when she was three months old because my husband caught her arm on the bouncer bar when he picked her up …just get baby checked and relax ! Am sure most Mums can give examples of near miss occasions !

Glad you’re in A&E, I’d have gone too.

Might just be a bit of jaw asymmetry, my DS was similar especially when he smiled. It's evened out now he is a toddler.
Best to get it looked at anyway, babies are so delicate at this age.

Sorry I meant she had the same fall. She did have a very impressive bruise for a while.

Maybe it's a bit sore and he's just holding his mouth like that, if that makes sense. Hopefully he gets seen by the doctor soon.

This could happen even if you were holding the baby they could just give a jerk.I think you were absolutely correct taking him to A&E ,hope all is okay

for you andvhysbandcand for baby

If he is not in any pain and behaving normally, maybe it was like this before and it will just even itself out. But best to check - hopefully he is fine.

I don’t think I could even count the number of times mine have fallen on their faces! He would be very unlucky to do damage.

His mouth was definitely straight before, both me and DH noticed it got uneven after the fall - it's noticeable when he's smiling or making faces. Still waiting to be seen, will update later.

I wonder if he’s just got a bit of swelling. Hope it all goes ok in a&e.

Don’t be cross with your dh, it happens all the time. Your baby has been unlucky.

These things happen but I'm sure you'll get sorted. Sending love

That sort of fall is so so common but he does need his jaw checked as it looks off so you are doing the right thing, very very unlucky though. It’s usually funny when they go over (on a padded mat).

So easily done, but poor DS, poor you and poor DH, what a horrid evening. Sending love and best wishes

Hope your little one is ok, these things happen x

Ohh so sorry OP. You’ve just been unlucky I think. I don’t know anyone who’s baby hasn’t rolled/fallen off something. Hope your son is ok!

Hope he’s ok OP
