I’m a first time mom so maybe I’m panicking unnecessarily. I tripped while holding my baby on a box my husband left near my baby’s crib and I managed to turn my baby so his head wouldn’t smash into the crib but unfortunately his side did. I think around his upper ribs. It’s been a few minutes and he isn’t really crying anymore. Mostly happy but whimpering on occasion. Do I need to worry about a cracked rib? Do I go to a doctor? It was a decent zetz.
Thank you all for your help! I texted the dr and I’m waiting to hear back. I’m sure he’ll get many bumps and bruises on his own as he gets older but it really terrified me that it was me who inadvertently caused it
