What do I do when my toddler has a fall?

Even after an apparently minor head injury, complications may occur. You will need to do a thorough check for injuries, especially if he falls on his head or back. Call the doctor immediately if your little one exhibits any of these symptoms:
  • Unconsciousness, continuing drowsiness or difficulty in waking from sleep.
  • Appears confused or not understanding what is said.
  • Vomiting.
  • Complaining of severe headache or trouble with their eyesight.
  • Prolonged crying or screaming
  • Any loss of balance or problems walking.
  • Becomes irritable.
  • Has any kind of attack, which you think is a fit.
  • Any weakness in one or both arms or legs.
  • Clear fluid coming out of their ears or nose.
  • Bleeding from one or both ears.
  • New deafness in one or both ears.
  • Cries more than usual or is more difficult to settle than usual.
  • Fails to grasp objects.
  • Any abnormal behaviour (trust your instincts)

Why is SafeheadBABY important in the first 2 years?

Every baby learns to do things at his or her own pace. Even when walking seems to happen overnight, it actually takes most babies about hours and hours of practice from the time they pull themselves upright to the time they can walk alone confidently. The head of an infant just learning to sit up or walk is very fragile and vulnerable needing protection at most times especially since they lack a sense of balance and are mostly unsteady on their feet. The soft parts (fontanels) of the infant skull, begin to calcify, the small one at the back of the head at about 3 months, the larger one in front at varying ages up to 18 months. Young children cannot control the movement of their heads. Their heads are large and their legs are shorter in proportion to the rest of their body. SafeheadBABY gives your little one’s head the protection it needs and significantly reduces the chances of your baby sustaining a head injury at this most crucial time where their skulls are most vulnerable ...

Does my Baby who is learning to walk really need to wear a protective headgear?

Almost all children will bump their heads, especially when they are babies or toddlers and are just learning to roll over, crawl, or walk. These accidents may upset us, but sometimes our anxiety is usually worse than the injury. Falling and bumping your head can be considered as a part of growing up but only if it was guaranteed to result only in a small thud and nothing more significant. Most head injuries in babies are minor HOWEVER some injuries may have long term implications. Helmets or protective headgears are designed to absorb some of the impact energy should the head hits a solid object. Any kind of energy absorption has the potential to make a difference in the injury outcome to the head/brain. So 2 wobbly feet, one big head and undeveloped muscles definitely would benefit from a protective headgear .
