Patient's question:
Last night, while taking a nap, I accidentally patted my two-month-old baby's head with my hand. The baby was also sleeping during the nap. At that time, the baby was not awake and did not cry. Later, at midnight, when I got up to drink water, there was some retching, which was due to phlegm. After retching, the baby breastfed normally and was as alert as usual. In the morning, he was also very alert and smiled when I played with him and talked to him. Should I observe him carefully?Doctor's answer:
Two and a half-month-old babies' physical and mental development has not improved much, but his joint resilience is very good, which means he has excellent elasticity and strong cushioning effect against external forces. It provides some protective function. Advice: Based on your situation, it is recommended to wait and see for about a week. If there are no abnormalities, there is no need to worry. The above advice is for the question "Last night, I accidentally hit my two and a half-month-old baby's head with my hand while taking a nap," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
