Lexy bumped her head pretty hard in the bath tub and there is a bit of swelling coming up it looks like. Is there anything that I can put on it to help it go down and Im pretty sure she is going to have a bruise. :(

Aww, poor bug!! Jude bonks his head all the time (he's had a couple gooseeggs). I just check his eyes and keep an eye on him. Give her some tylenol for a headache.

Just ice it :) She'll be fine - and it will happen a lot! lol.

If you don't have an ice pack, use something frozen in your freezer (steak, bag of veggies, whatever).

I always put ice of ds's bumps for a couple of minutes, it helps it from swelling so much. Other than that I just keep an eye on him.

Toothpaste works. Just spread a little on it and leave it for for 30 to 60 minutes and wash off. The swelling will go down and normally it will not bruise. If it does bruise it'll be gone quick.
