[ethanryan]

my son 18 months has fell about half hour ago and smacked his head off the marble bit of my fire place. he hit his head quite hard, it hasnt bled but he now feels really cold and is askin for bed how long shud u keep them awake after a bang to the head.

ps he isnt normally up this late, my boiler has broke down so he is sleepin down stairs with me by the fire

Hi ethanryan,

Having got 3 son's myself i know how clumsy they can be, it could all be due to your little man being tired.

But Carbon Monoxide could also affect his stability, even in small doses.

I hope the little man is ok, but as with all head traumas, it's worth checking everything out.

All the best.

Dabees and his 3 pests.

Hopefully your son'll be fine - but would it be better if you let him sleep with you in your bed until the boiler's mended?
