If she landed on her head I'd take her to doc to be safe.  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| she screamed for a bit and then I fed her and she seems pretty normal now. She fell maybe 20cm max, her feet were on the floor and she fell out sideways. I might just keep an eye on her. Thanx ladies |

I think she'll be okay  Ella fell off a bench once and smacked her head on the concrete (fell from standing). I freaked, but she was okay.------------- http://lilypie.com">

Get her to follow a toy or your finger or something with her eyes and make sure they are both moving at the same rate.
Also check her fontanelle for bulging. If she cried immediately and she's not unusually drowsy she's probably ok. Poor Caprece, and poor you guys, ! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

Also check to see that both her pupils are the same size, not one looking like a saucer ------------- Kerryn, Mum to Ashlyn(29/3/04), Anastasia(1/11/05) & Abigail (24/02/09) |

I'd agree with what others have said....keep an eye on her, if she is drowsy, throwing up, grizzly or pupils are funky then I would take her in.
Maddie's had a bad knock falling off her ride on and she had a wicked bruise but was fine. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| She seemed fine all night and kept up her 2 hourly feeding so I think shes ok. It just gave us a big fright and now ben feels terrible. I think Jack has had way worse falls just not so young. |

I've seen a Dad drop a babe before (and sort of be blamed for it by the mother... not outwardly, just through her actions - not to say that you'd do that!!) and I have seen the intense guilt they feel! Make sure he gets lots of cuddles with Caprece so he knows that she doesn't hold it against him!! - boys are more trouble than kids, I swear! hehe
And I hope she's feeling a bit better... babies are incredibly hardy aren't they? |

Yeah he felt terrible and it probably didn't help by the fact I yelled at him and ran and took Caprece off him. I am getting better tho and stay away when hes cuddling Jack. She was all smiles for him today so I think he feels ok.
I think they have to be considering what they have to go thru to be born. |
