Of course! Even one fall that results in a head injury can cause brain damage. The severity of the fall is what is significant!
If a toddler has had multiple falls, he/she should be taken directly to a hospital with an Emergency Room, even if no ill symptoms are being displayed!! Head injuries should always be taken seriously!
