Should I Meet Doctor For Bruises And Bumps On Head Of A 7 Month Old After Falling Down?
My seven month old baby girl fell down an uncarpeted flight of stairs. My little brother moved the gate and went down stairs, she followed him in her walker. She now has bumps and bruises all over her head. Should I take her to the E.R or just keep an eye on her?
