    Is it likely to have done damage?

    If so, what do I watch for, immediately and later?

    DS was lying under his playgym on the floor, and DD was watching tv nowhere near him, so I snuck off to the loo. When I came back she was walking over him (feet on each side) and when the top of they gym wouldn't go anyfurther, she started to step back and lost her balance and fell heavily on his stomach (I was about 2 steps away when she fell .

    I know he was winded cause he was holding his breath when crying, but a quick BF, and he had a little nap (for about 20 mins).

    I'd call nurse on line and ask their advice. They are fantastic.

    Thanks for your replies. (but I only just saw them now, my user profile showed no responses ).

    So no, I haven't taken him to get checked He was a bit unsettled last night but that could've also been the humid weather. He was fine today, eating, sleeping, playing, laughing nothing unusual. poos wees, and after feed chucks haven't changed either (assuming those things and being unsettled is what I should be looking for).

    And how was I? After I realised he was ok (i.e screaming his lungs out), I was more concerned about smacking DD and how my hand hurt from all the padding on her bum and she didn't even feel it.. And worried about telling DH cause he is always telling me that I am too lenient with letting DD play with DS (what am I suppose to do lock the kids in separate rooms all day )

    But so far, all seems good, and I will take him to the GP tomorrow and get a referal for and us if he thinks it necessary.

    Be kind to yourself hun. Accidents happen.

    Hope the check up went fine. It is good he is doing all those things.

    Glad he is doing ok. We have the same issues here - DD1 is a very rough playmate. On a couple of occasions now I have left the room for few minutes to return and find DD1 holding something over DD2's face. Is damn scary, but there are so few safe places for the baby, so what can you do?

    I couldn't get into my preferred dr, so we didn't go.

    He is not sore to touch and not doing anything out of the ordinary, so assuming all ok..

    Will get dr to check him next time we are there, unless he starts showing signs of something not quite right.
