Question

My son (who is 2 and a half) threw a fork at his 2 week old brother while I was breastfeeding and it hit him in the head above his ear & now he’s bleeding. it’s a tiny mark but man i dont know what the heck to do. i feel like a shitty parent.😭
should i take him to see a doctor?

Answer

Baby will likely be fine. If it was an intentional act of harm by your 2 year old I would find some effective disciplinary actions to take in the future so that doesnt become a habit.

Answer

I’m sure the baby will be fine. It will heal in a few days. Don’t feel like a shitty parent unfortunately these things are going to happen. I have a 13 week old and a 2 year old and you’ve just got to try and keep on top of what’s right and what’s wrong with a new baby around. I think it’s hard for them to understand sometimes because there so used to playing with children their own age etc they don’t realise there being rough etc. Maybe your other child didn’t mean to throw the fork and thought they were just playing?
