BROKEN BONE
A baby or child may have a broken bone if they are in a lot of pain, or are lying in an unnatural position, following a fall or a blow from an object.
1. Support the injury with cushions or items of clothing to prevent unnecessary movement. Supporting the injury may give pain relief and prevent loss of future movement. If possible, support the limb above and below the injury.
2. Call 999. Continue supporting the injury until help arrives.
Please remember that amongst the *Mums World* team there are NO medical professionals. Information has been collated from reputable websites which will be listed at the end of the topic. If you are in doubt we recommend talking to your GP, midwife/health visitor or in more urgent circumstance contact NHS Direct.
