Bumped baby's head

I was trying to put him in his swing and accidentally jammed his head in one of the animals on the mobile of the swing. He started screaming like I had never heard him scream before and it took me 10 mn and breastfeeding him to calm him down.
Now I am worried it's really bad (I don't see a bump though) and am wondering if I should call the doc?
I feel so horrible

Re: Bumped baby's head
i'm no doctor but if he seems better and not in any pain + you don't see any bruises or swelling/bumps, he's probably fine; but for some peace of mind it's probably best to call and ask your doctor if he thinks you should bring him in or not.
don't feel horrible! i'm sure we've all confidently done it at least once since baby was born.
If all you hit was one of his animals...he's just fine. It probably just scared him more than anything. My LO is in this stage where any sudden unexpected movement freaks her out.
Keep an eye out for any problems, but I highly doubt this anything to worry about. We've all done it. I smacked LO's head on the edge of her crib. She's fine.
I am sure she is fine- just might have been startled (sp?).
When DS#1 was new (less than 3 months) my dh and I have both misjudged where his head was while carrying him through a doorway and bumped it more than once. He was fine.
