My 13 month old fell down our full flight of stairs a couple of hours ago :( I had just popped downstairs with her to get cleaning things as she’d been sick on the carpet (before the fall) and then we came back upstairs and I stupidly left the stair gate open then had my head down while I cleaned the sick. As I lifted my head i see that she’s standing at the top of the stairs and I know I’m too far away to reach her in time …she steps forward and does this horrible slow motion tumble all the way down. She shouted out as she hit the wood floor (stairs are carpet but it’s wood at the bottom) but apart from the shout she didn’t cry and somehow there’s not a mark on her, unless she bruises tomorrow.
she seems totally fine and was playing and laughing etc before bed. I feel awful I always nag husband to close the stair gate and it was me! I honestly thought she would be dead / seriously injured by the time she reached the bottom I can’t stop picturing it.
do I need to get her checked out anyway if she seems fine? I’ve googled the symptoms of concussion to keep an eye on it…
