Bruised nose after a fall
in Baby
My DD (8 months) is just learning to cruise, I didn't manage to catch her in time and she smacked her face on the floor (carpet). This was yesterday evening about 6pm. She sobbed and sobbed, obviously, then within about 15 minutes 2 little bruises appeared at the top of her nose. She was fine within herself after getting the sobs out the way. The bruises are quite prominent this morning too, no black eyes though thank goodness.
I think I'm going to take her to the GP this morning anyway, just for my own piece of mind.
Could she have broken it? How long will the bruising last?
God I just feel awful, poor thing. I'm supposed to protect her and I know I can't do it alllll the time, but when something like this happens it just makes you feel rubbish

I doubt its broken due to lack of black eyes and the fact she is ok now as if it was broken i'd expect her to be in pain and so crying. But taking her to the docs to put your mind at rest sounds like a good idea.
Your a good mummy unfortunately accidents happen, she will get her balance fully soon and then she'll be falling trying to walk or running into walls!
Big hugs to you and Ava xxxx
Like Dylansmummy says, unfortuntely these things happen (ooh if I had a pound for eveytime Ollie has hit his head....!) and believe me, you are a FAB mummy and so shouldn't be feeling awful about this- it's gonna happen many many more times (sorry!) and then eventually she'll get the hang of walking and it'll be onto the next hurdle..... climbing!!!! xxx
My LO doesnt seem to get he cant walk, he literally lets go and takes a few steps and then crashes down grrrrr
The bruises last about a week I have found....I hope your little girl is ok x
