Hello,
I'm so sorry to hear about your little one's fall—it can be really scary, especially as a first-time mom. You're doing the right thing by observing him closely. Since he seems to be feeding well and his activity level is normal, those are good signs. However, given that you've noticed a new bump that's slightly soft, it's always better to err on the side of caution.
Here are a few things you might want to do:
1. **Monitor Symptoms:** Keep an eye out for any changes in behavior, such as increased fussiness, vomiting, or any difficulty in waking him up. If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
2. **Check for Other Signs:** Look for signs like drowsiness, seizures, or if his pupils seem unequal. These can be indicators of a more serious issue.
3. **Consult a Doctor:** Given that there’s a new bump that you didn’t notice before, it would be wise to bring him to see a doctor to rule out any internal injuries. The peace of mind is worth it.
4. **Follow-Up:** Even if the doctor says everything is fine, continue monitoring him over the next few days just to be sure.
Accidents happen, and you're doing a great job by being vigilant and attentive. It's always better to get a professional opinion when it comes to your child's health.
Take care and hope your little one feels better soon!
