While a minor head injury is bound to happen from time to time, here are a few tips to help keep your lo out of harms way.

Install baby gates on the top and bottom of stairs. Use infant head protection helmets Watch for wet areas on floors. Install non-skid mats on the bathroom floor. Firmly secure furniture to walls. Keep young kids away from dangerous things to climb. Dont sit or leave your baby up on countertops. Avoid using infant walkers with wheels. Remove tripping hazards. Be cautious at playgrounds that dont have softer surfaces.

Theres no doubt about it when your baby takes a tumble, their tears can equal fears and tears of your own. Its normal to worry, but rest assured that most minor bumps to the head dont cause a serious brain injury or require emergency medical attention.
However, there are rare instances where a more serious traumatic brain injury can result. In this case, know the symptoms to watch for and always call your childs pediatrician or seek emergency medical care
if you feel its necessary.
