A 21 month old child falls off a rocking horse chair. She is enrolled in a toddler room. She has a large bump of her forehead.

What would you do after the injury to support the child?

Step-by-step explanation:

If a bump develops, you can apply a cold compress. And if there's bleeding, apply firm pressure to stop it. Keep an eye on your baby for the next couple of days to see if the symptoms of a head injury develop—your baby's behavior changes, they cry excessively, they won't nurse, they are lethargic, etc
