Question
If the baby’s diet, sleep, bowel movements, and physical activity appear normal within 24-48 hours after the fall, does this mean there is no serious issue? What should be done if there are any abnormal signs?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, if the baby’s diet, sleep, bowel movements, and physical activity remain normal within 24-48 hours after the fall, it is generally considered to be fine. However, if any concerning symptoms are noticed, it is advisable to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up. Sometimes, babies may have fractures that are not visible on the surface but could affect normal bone development, so one should not take anything lightly. Lastly, wish the baby a healthy growth!
