Question
Why does a child keep rolling left and right while sleeping? I just put my child down for a nap, and he’s been rolling around all over the place. Suddenly, he fell and hit my eye, making me see stars. Then he just fell asleep without a sound. His breathing is normal; could he have fainted?
Answer
Based on your description, the child hitting your eye was on a relatively soft spot, so there’s no way his head could be damaged. If he had hit something hard, it could have caused a concussion. Symptoms of a concussion include nausea and vomiting. If the child fell asleep directly after, it indicates he has no issues. If you notice any unusual symptoms after the child has had a good nap, it’s advisable to take him to the hospital for a thorough check-up.
