Help-dd2 just threw a book and it hit baby on his soft spot! :-(

[Yo_Yo]

So dd2 threw a heavy book of hers and it hit my nearly 4 week old right on his soft spot! He cried as it was fairly hard

I'm so worried about it, being the soft spot.

Will he be ok?

He should be fine

If he seems happy in himself now I'd say he's fine, they're tougher than we think My dd has had a few things dropped on her head and I'd love to be able to say it was ds :S I'm a little clumsy during the night feeds lol x

My 2.5 yr old threw her beaker and whacked the baby on the head when he was 1 day old and he's grand, like pp said they are tougher than we think! If it's really worrying you maybe ring your go and see what he/she thinks

As others have said, he'll be fine. My MIL is a nurse and told me that once she saw a baby because the older brother (toddler age) threw scissors that landed right on her soft spot. The baby was completely fine. The soft spot is more like a piece of thick leather, it is still very protective!

Oh dear! Sorry about that. Hope he's ok. My DD is 4 and I have to watch her constantly around LO- she's always moving, and has whacked him a few times with her arms/legs without realizing.

I've been through that too with my baby/toddler...several times! I know it's stressful.

My 2 year old son flung a hard toy across the bed and it went whack on the babys head. She cried for a while but then seemed herself throughout the day so i stopped worrying x

Yesterday My son hit my 1 week old quite hard on the head cos I wouldn't let him have the pillow I was leaning on to feed, then hubby and son were throwing around a ball which bounced off the wall and went in her bassi and got her head, then when I got angry at hubs he tried to reenact accident to showme he didn't mean it and hit me with the ball....but hit her again!
