Should I Be Worried About The Fall By Hitting Head?

My 1 year old grandson fell back on his head, whist crying it took awhile for him to take a breath, then he went limp. I kept blowing in his face to get him to breath. Thankfully he has slowly come around. Should I take him to a hospital to be checked??

Hello. I just read through your question.
Though it will most likely turn out to be ok, I recommend having him checked out today. Mainly because he went momentarily limp, it is important to rule out any neurological injury.
