The baby accidentally hits his head

Babies are more difficult to take care of. You have to consider all aspects and details of them. When you hold a baby, you often accidentally hit the baby's head. If a baby accidentally hits his head, the severity of the situation will vary and the response measures will also be different. Parents should deal with it in a timely manner according to the child's situation. So, what should we do if the baby accidentally hits his head? Let’s take a look at it below.

Some mothers think that massaging the baby's injured part can relieve the baby's pain, so they develop this habit. There is a folk saying that if a baby bumps, you should not rub it, otherwise it will cause a swelling. This is not without reason. You should know that massaging the injured area will speed up blood circulation, and the affected area will swell up immediately. The mother will then have to find ways to reduce the swelling for the baby, which is not worth the effort. So don’t rub your baby after he bumps into something. If it’s not serious, the baby will be lively again in a while.

2. It can cause wound infection

After a child's head is broken, the skin loses its protective function. The mother's hands inevitably have bacteria that cannot be washed off. If you press on the baby's bumped area, the bacteria on your hands will be brought to the child, causing secondary harm to the child. So if the baby's head is broken, the mother should not cover the wound immediately. If the situation is serious, you should go to the doctor immediately.

The baby's reaction after hitting his head can show how serious the impact is. If the baby cries loudly after hitting his head but returns to normal after a while, it means the baby is still conscious and the impact is not serious, so the mother does not need to take any special action. If a baby cries loudly because he hits his head and bleeds, it is because he is aware of the pain or is afraid of the sight of blood. The mother can help the baby clean the wound and comfort the baby, and the baby's emotions will gradually stabilize. If your baby hits his head and has a nosebleed, but the bleeding stops quickly, the mother can observe the baby first. Once she finds something abnormal coming out of the baby's nose, she should take the child to see a doctor immediately.

It is inevitable for children to bump into things while playing. If the mother gets nervous every time, not only will she be tired, but the baby will also feel that the matter is very serious and will not dare to play with peace of mind in the future. In most cases, the baby is still very safe, and even if he gets hit, it is not serious. Let the baby develop a strong character and slowly get up after falling. Only then can he have a smoother future life and more courage to face setbacks.
