Babies: 9 - 12 Months

reassurance please...

9.5 month old just lost her balance and fell face first into the ceramic tile floor. Sounded like a bowling ball. She has a fat bloody lip. She cried for like 5 minutes but she is acting fine now. Just pitiful with her big ole lip sticking out. What to do? Just leave it alone? I'm nauseous.

Re: reassurance please...

  • poor baby. maybe put some ice on it.

  • I think that any time something like that happens where you're second-guessing what happened, you should call the doctor.  Even if there's nothing wrong it will give you peace of mind.
  • Loading the player...
  • you could give her a cold rag to chew on or if you have a mesh feeder, throw a ice cube in it and let her suck away.

    poor baby and momma!

  • Oh no.  You poor thing.  Give her ice and yourself wine.

  • Oh I think we as parents hurt more than the kids do.  When Harm was learning to stand he did a lot of that.  She is fine, try not to let it worry you so (although I was very worried each time... I used to think someone would see the bruises and think I was abusing him, but I know in my heart it is a learning process these children go through).
