Trust me she wont have brain damage from you dropping a phone on her head, as long as it wasnt her soft spot youre fine
You're definitely not the first, and definitely won't be the last. Unless it landed on his soft spot (which is unlikely) then he'll be fine ☺️ he probably cried from shock rather than injury.
Babies are very resilient. I did a whole 'friends' moment and went to throw him up and hit the beam. Total accident but felt like the worst parent. These things happen. I did take him to the hospital to get checked out. If they are still eating, drinking and moving normally, and the site area is not bleeding or does not have a large bump you're usually ok. FYI they monitor them for four hours if you take them to the hospital (my LO was literally running around the Ped emergency floor).
It’s a good thing he cried after. Everything should be fine :-) just ensure he is still eating well and doing everything that Is ‘normal’ for him.
Oh babe, I also did this when my baby was 4 or 5 days old. I felt terrible. He’s a near 8 month old baby now who is obsessed with his mama and so so happy. I’m sorry you had to go through that and probably feel terrible. You’re doing an amazing job ❤️
Did the same with my first, I felt so guilty. Mine was almost the same, except I fell asleep in nursing chair. Bub was all fine! The crying is good and alertness is good also. See a GP if you are worried (I’d worry about swelling, lethargy, etc.) I ended up buying a pop socket for my phone and it’s been a game changer - so much easier to hold and carry, and most importantly- I’ve never dropped phone on bub again 😅
I did the same on Boxing Day morning. We were both crying and I felt like the worst Mum ever! He is fine now though. You won't be the first and surely won't be the last 😊
A brand new tin of formula slipped off the back of the ute and fell on my little ones head. Took him to emergency just to check, but he was fine. I felt like the worst mother in the world.
Same happened to me, I dropped my phone accidentally on his back/ ribs. Baby was sleeping and he didn't even wake up. I felt awful and cried. I felt so much guilt thinking I hurt him😭
Done it with both babies; almost did it with 2 just the other night while reading in bed lol
Ive dropped my phone on my nieces head in the pram (double pram she was in the bottom so like a good 60cm drop) ive also had my daughter slip off the couch at 4 days old and shes perfectly fine, as my mum says babies bounce not much can damage them tbh
