my 5 month old was laying on her belly and her 6 yr old sister was ';helping'; me when she wasnt suppossed to she flipped her from her belly to back and her arm got caught





she wouldnt stop crying the arm was limp for 15 minutes I called her dr. he said to give her tylenol


that it is very hard to break a babies arm.





he said give her tylenol every 4 hours and tomorrow bring her in if she is still uncomfortable.





has this happend before to anybody.MOms please help dr said not to take her to emergency room to wait until tomorrow. any advice? shoulder/arm?
It is hard but not impossible...If her arm is still limp, she cries without consolation when she moves it or it is touched, is red, very swollen or hot then I'd take her to the ER. Otherwise, chances are it can wait until tomorrow. My daughter had the same experience with her finger. She was just fine in the morning. Didn't even remember her finger was hurt until I brought it up. Good Luck!MOms please help dr said not to take her to emergency room to wait until tomorrow. any advice? shoulder/arm?
Please take your baby to the emergency room, it could be very serious, don't let no one tell you about what to do for your baby, if you the baby needs medical attention then go to the er room. or called the paramedic, your child could be in great pain even with you giving her the Tylenol. so please go and take her to the er room.do this asap, you should even be thinking about spending another minute trying to figure out what to do. please take her asap. good luck and god bless you and your kids. i will be praying for you.
Take her to hospital NOW!





Babies are so fragile. If her arm is broken and you do nothing about it, you could be classed as an unfit mother. even if you have rang a doctor to ask about it. That does not matter. Take her to the hospital now.





Children can cope with things so so well, and you think they are doing fine, and then all of a sudden they will just go down... so quickly. Because that is how a child's body works. They work so hard to fight off pain, that they use all of there energy, that when they have no energy left, they just go down hill.





Please take her to hospital. It may be nothing, but it could be something.
If you really believe there's a chance her arm could be broken, take her to the ER anyway. Your doctor may be wrong. If you suspect it's worse than your doctor thinks, take her today. At the very least, it will put your mind at ease. Good luck!
babies bones are very soft and difficult to break....it is possible however.....just do as the Dr says and take her in tomorrow....if it is broken, the bones are soft and will mend quickly and usually without problems
For the most part i would trust my pedi. but if it seems like she still cant move her arm or fingers then it may be broken and need a cast of some sort. Give her a few hours then decide what you think you should do.
Don't worry i know as a mother it is your job to worry about your babies but if that's what the Dr. says to do then do it and if your still worried then take your baby to him/her.
actually babies bones are very fragile so if she is still not using her arm she needs an xray
I say take her in docs dont always kno best. if it was my child I wouldnt have even called the doc i would have went straight to the er.
