How dangerous is thumps to the head?

[Fuchsia!]

Sounds a little strange? Well cooper is pulling himself up on everything he can and he keeps smashing himself! He hasn't learnt how to get back down so he ends up falling over.

Today he has hit his head 2 times really hard. the 1st time he fell backwards in his playpen and landed on the floor, he was really upset so i cuddled him and gave him booby feed and he was happy after that. then this arvo he climbed up on the treadmill and faceplanted the wooden floor and his head was red and sore. He was upset again. He's asleep now, thank goodness! He's getting into everything!:banghead:

So how tough are there heads? Cause im worried he's going to do some damage! I can't watch him all day either.

Gosh - don't know really!!

I know my kids have given themselves some really good thumps on the noggin and they are fine....

I guess when he bumps himself hard, just keep an eye on him, and as long as his pupils are ok, he doesn't get really sleepy really quickly, etc then he's probably ok?

^^What she said! I can honestly say that Chloe was the nuttiest kid as far as climbing etc went from a young age (about8months) and has hit her head countless times, some bangs to the head have had us wondering wether we shud be taking her to hospy or not, and she is fine:D Just make sure hes alert and still feeding etc and he shud be fine. These kids are a worry aint they:laughing:

My ds2 has been accident prone right from the word go. He has bashed his head too many times to count, even knocking himself out twice.
As long as they are not sleepy and feeding ok its usually ok (well thats my opinion anyway )
