My 5 month old flipped over and fell off the bed. Doesn't seem like it's anything serious but he's been waking up every hour at night since. Could this be night terrors or should I be seeing a doctor to check for a head fracture?

My daughter fell off the bed at about 6 months too and cried her lungs out. She seemed fine afterwards, but I brought her to the doctor anyways to have my mind settled otherwise I'd be constantly worried. Doctor told me to bring her to A&E if she starts vomitting, refusing milk or eyes not focusing on her toys. She was fine, thankfully no bumps or scars either but the mummy guilt lives on until today (she's 7 years old now). I learnt my lesson with her and now that my son is flipping & turning like a pro, I've got bed rails installed since he co-sleeps with me. On days that he's sleeping on his own, he sleeps on his mat so I know I can leave him alone while I do my chores.
