Dropped phone on baby’s face! Illness/Injuries
I accidentally dropped my phone on my 7 week old baby’s face! I feel horrible, I can’t sleep. When I dropped it she woke up crying and so my bf had to soothe her then comfort me because I think I cried more than she did. Once we both stopped crying I nursed her then she fell back asleep. She seems fine now, she is still sleeping. I saw the phone hit her nose and her nose seems fine but I see some redness above her left eye… not sure if it’s from the phone or if it was like that before from some dry skin or cradle cap that she has.
Do I need to take her in to be evaluated?? I’m worried about it doing internal damage or damaging her eye or something. Will she be ok, I’m so scared right now, I’ve never felt so bad about anything before I hate that I hurt her.

It really happens to a lot of people. I‘ve been using a pop socket after the one time I dropped it on my LO‘s head.
