Baby, 7 months, fell from the bed, knee height and I wasn't around to witness it. There was blood all over and GP took a look at his mouth and told me he had a cut on his labial frenulum (part connecting the gum and the lip in his upper mouth) Went to the hospital and got it stitched up. He was crying very badly today and he has never cried so hard before. After we got back I realised he had a minor bad goose egg on his forehead. He was also very whiny and needed me around. No longer adventurous. Previously he's very fearless in his exploring. 1. Will his behavior be back to normal? Pains me to see he's overly cautious and not so happy yet. 2. His upper gums has become blue black, will anything happen to his mouth/teeth/gum? 3. Accident happened in the early afternoon and he is sleeping now. Should I be monitoring through the night? 4. Anything I can do with regards to the bad goose egg? I rubbed with a boiled egg already.

So sad to hear about this, mummy :( Want to share that my baby also experienced falling from bed, of same height mentioned and also got head bumps. This was when me, my mom and my partner are having breakfast together while baby is still asleep. We were all busy chitchatting when we realised that baby is already awake when she made a very loud cry upon falling - picked her up on the floor. My heart skipped that moment! All of us panicked as she almost looked purple because of the pain, not to mentioned I cried too bec of guilt. My mother, blamed me for what happened but at the end of the day she just realised that best way is to really not leave baby at all in bed whether asleep or awake. In short, we take turns in looking after baby when mom needs to do other things when my baby feels like lying on the bed - to be sure that she won't fall. With the head bump - yes agreed that you can put a bag of ice wrap in cloth and gently press it against the affected area so it will heal sooner - by doing it 3-4 times a day. Stay at his side every minute that you can cause it will surely help him recover. Will pray that your baby will get well very very soon. I can imagine how you're feeling now - like what mums do, if only we can claim the pain and let them be free from any kind of it. It's normal that your baby was terrified bec of this bec it's a seriously painful event. He'll be better soon, promise! Huuuugs!!
