Anyone else have a toddler who doesn't cry when hurt?

DD hardly cries when she gets hurt, and I am somewhat concerned.  If she falls or trips, she smiles.  This morning I accidently hit her in the forehead with the door. Sad  She cried for a second and then went right on with what she was doing.  Is this normal?  I've just noticed that she rarely cries when she falls or bumps herself.

    If they can't feel pain, is that some sort of disorder?

    mine just kinda sits there with this look on her face like, "wow that hurt" but she doesn't cry. she'll look at me and i try not to react. she will cry if i react though. it has to be something really bad for her to cry. falling, tripping, bumping heads or feet on something don't really get a response from her. they're really resilient!!!

    My 20-month old niece only cries if she is really hurt - she feel while running the other week and split her lip. She cried then.

    On New Year's last year, she was playing with some sort of toy. Turns out she actually cut her finger and it was bleeding. No one knew until we saw the blood. She didn't make a peep! My kid would have been wailing his head off.

    Anyway, if you are really concerned, you should talk to your doctor.

    Mine is not a big fan of crying either.  He may yell for about 5 sec. tops, butt that's it.

    DS doesn't cry.

    He has never cried at shots, he has skinned his knees and elbows many times, split his chin open and almost bitten through his lip.

    The only time he whimpered was when he bit his lip.  I hate it.  I would much rather know that he got hurt by him screaming his head off.  It's like it's no big deal to him.  

    I know he feels pain, he has cried if his finger gets pinched and when he fell out of his crib.   We have to make sure and look over him while he plays outside, cause there is a good chance that he has a scrape or something that we would never find otherwise.

    My DD doesn't often cry when she gets hurt, but I think it is good.  That way I know when she is really  in pain and when it was just a little bump or something.  It is also great because she generally doesn't make much of a fuss about getting her shots.
