Any loss of consciousness or deformity of the skull after a baby hits her head requires immediate medical attention, But if a baby is awake, alert and behaving normally, it?s not concerning.? Be watchful for a day or two. ?If you notice she?s acting different?vomiting, drowsy, irritable, eating less, or having trouble using a part of her body, go to the doctor. If the doctors are concerned about brain swelling or bleeding, an X-ray or scan may help determine next steps.
