Children falling out of bed can have a dangerous head injury

What the parents don't want to think about are skull fractures and possibly serious brain injuries. When rolling from the bed to the ground, the baby's forehead will appear a lump. This is common because young children touch it anywhere while learning to move, not just falling over the bed. This lump may look "disgusting", but over time it will automatically disappear. And do not worry too much, because this is just an injury to the skin, not inside the skull.

The most important thing is never to let a baby sleep in bed without an adult looking after a mother, be careful with a crib or crib, even if you think your baby is sleeping.

Prevention 

If you want to practice your baby to sleep separately, mothers should pay attention to the following issues to limit the baby from falling from the bed to the ground:

Cover the mattress on the ground to reduce the distance your baby will fall if he rolls out.

Push the mattress against the wall and make sure the edges of the table are away from your baby's bed.

Put your baby on his or her back, place blankets, pillows and other soft objects away from your baby to avoid the risk of sudden death in young children.

Place thick cushions on the ground on the sides of the bed that are not close to the wall.

Close high barriers on edges not close to walls.

As your baby gets older, teach him how to safely climb and get off the bed.
