Question:
Answers:
yes it can happen -however an infants skull is very difficult to actually fracture -it is more likely it would recieve what is called a green stick fracture -or a hairline fracture -if that has happened -have the infant x-rayed immediately -as there are numerous health issuse that can present(show-up) many years down the road --to include seizures , blood clots , severe neck injuries , and even possibly brain damage -it unlikey that the infant would get a bilateral skull fracture bruising -around the ears /or eyes-is a serious sign
yes a 2 year old can cause injury to baby, especially a head injury. A 2 month olds skull is still soft and easily hurt.
If a 2yo picks up a baby and drops it yes it could fracture its skull.
Anything is possible. At 2 months old a child's skull is still very soft. Which was needed to pass through the birth canal. If you think it could have been a severe enough blow. Have the child checked out by a professional. Watch the eyes for dilation.
HOLY MOLY you have to watch your kids around each other :S
Bring your two month old to the hospital, and do not let your 2 year old get at them again!
