Last Night, a Seven-Month-Old Baby Fell from a 50-Centimeter Bed, Hit the Back of the Head, and Cried

Last night, a seven-month-old baby fell from a 50-centimeter bed, hit the back of the head, cried, and then fell asleep after drinking some milk. After being taken to the hospital, the baby woke up! After waking up, the baby didn’t cry but looked around and smiled when meeting his grandmother. The doctor said that since the baby didn’t take a nap, it was impossible to perform an MRI, so we went back home. The baby woke up many times throughout the night but slept well in the latter half. Today, the baby has shown no other symptoms, eating and playing as usual, but the spot where the baby fell may still hurt. The baby doesn’t cry when touched gently, but cries when touched more heavily! I want to ask the doctor if there will be any sequelae or if the head might be damaged?

Late Teething or Early Tooth Eruption in Babies: How to Treat?

The timing and sequence of a baby’s teething are important indicators of their growth and development. Generally, healthy infants start teething around 6 to 7 months after birth, with some children beginning as late as 3 to 4 months. Some parents may worry when their child is 8 to 9 months old and hasn’t started teething yet, fearing a calcium deficiency that could affect tooth growth. Therefore, they might give their child cod liver oil and calcium powder, increasing their intake. This approach is inappropriate and may harm the child’s health. Simply based on the timing of a child’s teething, one cannot determine if there is a calcium deficiency. Even if a calcium deficiency leads to delayed teething, calcium supplements should not be taken blindly but under medical guidance.
