A MUM has shared a video warning what can happen if you take your eyes off your baby when they\u2019re on a changing table.<\/p>\n

Nikki Jurcutz, founder of child first aiders Tiny Hearts Education, said falling from that height \u201ccould be life-threatening for a young baby\u201d.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

In the video, a parent turns their back on their child to get something from the other side of the room.<\/p>\n

The baby, lying on a changing mat on top of a dresser, rolls onto its side and begins to climb off.<\/p>\n

Losing its footing, the child's entire body drops off the furniture.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the parent spots the fall just in time and catches the youngster.<\/p>\n

The fall could have been seriously dangerous, and has inspired her rule for parents when changing nappies. <\/p>\n

She said: \u201cA fall from this height could be life-threatening for a young baby.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to share a rule that I have in place whenever my baby is on the change table.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are taking eyes off your child, even for a second, place your hand on top of them first.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you can\u2019t hold your baby and reach for what you need, don\u2019t do it \u2014 ask for help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nikki, from Australia, has previously shared advice on how to tell if a child\u2019s fall is dangerous, should the worst happen.<\/p>\n

You should ring 999 or take your child to hospital if the fall is more than double their height, even if they don\u2019t have any symptoms, she said.<\/p>\n

If they have any period of a loss of consciousness or vomit more than once after banging their head, you should also bring them to A&E, she said.<\/p>\n

However, minor injuries can be treated with an ice pack for 10 minutes, and then followed up with a GP if you notice anything concerning, she said.<\/p>\n

The NHS recommends you call an ambulance if your child stops breathing, is struggling to breathe, is unconscious, has a cut that will not stop bleeding, will not wake up, or has had a fit.<\/p>\n

You should take them to A&E if they have a leg or arm injury and cannot use the limb, health bosses say.<\/p>\n

How serious are head injuries?<\/h3>\n

MOST head injuries aren’t serious, according to the NHS.<\/p>\n

But it's important to get medical help if you or your child have any symptoms after a head injury.<\/p>\n

This indicates you might have concussion that can last several weeks.<\/p>\n

You should go to A&E if you or your child had a head injury and have:<\/p>\n
