Question
On March 30, 2012, at 3:30 AM, the baby fell out of bed and made a loud thud, then cried for a while. When picked up, it seemed the baby was not seriously injured.
Answer
As long as there are no issues with vomiting or consciousness, you can temporarily rest easy. Generally speaking, unless a child falls from a height of one meter and hits their head directly, there is usually no serious harm. This fall may have just caused a scare. For safety’s sake, it is still best to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up. Especially for young children, timely and correct treatment is crucial to prevent the progression of neurological damage. Parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and seek treatment promptly.
