How To Cure The Lump On My Baby S Head Caused By Hitting?
my 5 month old hit her head on her changing table right on the soft spot, now the bone on one side of the soft spot is a bit of a lump. She cried for a while, there is a red mark where she hit it, but she ate her bottle and is now sleeping, should I be worried, do we need to go to the ER?
