Newborn baby head
I was holding my baby in my arms when suddenly I lost control and her head fell on my chest with a thud, and she started crying for a while.Shes just 20 days old,now she's fine and active but do I have to watch for any symptoms for next few hours ???
I m so scared that did I just hurt my baby or will it affect her in anyway.She cried for few minutes and went back to sleep.

Nothing to worry. Watch for any dullness in the activity. Atleast for 4 months you need to be careful while holding head of your baby as neck holding is not attained.
