 Keep him very, very quiet
If you have a carrier where your baby will sleep without thrashing, I would keep him in it tonight. He sounds like he landed hard on it, but that nothing is badly broken. My little one walked off my son's bunk in the dark, not realizing how far it was to the ground. We all cried, but like your baby, he hopped at first, then slowly started walking. He didn't stumble when he walked, just acted like a child who had a fall and was scared.
I think he will be fine until morning as long as you watch him closely. Is he alert? Does he wag his tale when you are near? Does he follow you with his eyes and head when you move a treat back and forth in front of his face? Does he seem irritable when you try to hold him? Use the same criteria you would for deciding if a child needs to go to the emergency room.
I wouldn't let him run around until you are certain that he is okay. |
