i was always told not to let anyone sleep for at least an hour after a head injury whether it's in a car accident or just bumping your head.

Anytime your child suffers a trauma to the head, you need to call the doctor and speak with them about it. They'll tell you signs to watch for in the event blood is pooling in the brain and/or baby has a concussion.

I heard you are not suppose to let a baby sleep for an hour after they hit their head. I had a cousin who's baby fell off a high chair and she let him sleep. Well he had to go into surgery because he was bleeding inside.... Well he didn't make it!! I always make sure my daughter doesn't sleep after a fall. She's already 4 so parents get use to all the head bumps. Anyway, she was on the bleechers at a baseball game when I just seen her falling. She was about 6 feet high... She fell straight on her head onto cement. While I drove her to the doctors she was wanting to sleep. I was terrified. Believe me, she will not go up to those bleechers again without an adult.

i'd just like to say the latest advice with head bangs is to let the child sleep if he/she wants to...but wake them every 40-50 minutes for ten minutes.

Okay...my son has fallen one too many times I just about cry every time he does. Just the other day we were having a BAD day of falling. (I blame it on his new shoes for the most part) Ok...so he is walking around, playing and laughing at me and all of a sudden trips over his feet (thank goodness he was on carpet) falls sideways and wacks the side of his head on our wooden coffee table then lands on the carpet....I seriously held him and cried!! He just had a little bruise on his head from that and was ok. THEN he was walking in the kitchen and now he is the height of our kitchen table and wam...runs right into the corner and hits his head again. By this time I'm ready to lock him up so he can't injure himself anymore. THEN! I was changing his diaper on the couch, and he gets up really fast (he gets really excited right after I change him and wants to take off) and sits on the couch but on the edge, falls backwards off the couch, bangs his head on the way down on the table, and lands on his back...we were seriously having a rough day......thankfully he only cried during the first fall...he is tough boy. I was in more pain than he was I think. =( But he hasn't fallen since...thankfully. lol

my guys.....are well boys. they are ROUGH with each other. we were all sitting on the couch last week (yeah last week) and eli lunged at brett (play wrestling) and missed him. well he lunges so hard that he is so fast. before we new what happened he launched himself off the couch. i couldn't help but giggle. he just sat on the floor. looking around. he stood up and smacked brett like it was HIS fault. greg and i just burst out laughing. it was hilarious. he was fine obviously he didn't cry but he did have a goose egg on his forehead. lol.
