thank you for your advice, Noah is my second child and he is much more
active then his sibling was and more daring that's why I freak out.

A hematoma is just a bruise and my kids have had lots of bumps and bruises
and they are all fine. Falling is really a normal part of childhood. You
really don't need to worry this excessively or need a helmet to protect
your
son. He will soon learn to sit without falling. Take normal precautions
and
protect corners of coffee tables or edges of fireplaces and take sharp
objects away (like sharp objects on toys) that he could impale himself on.
Teach him how to go up and down the stairs when he is older, teach him how
to climb on the monkey bars and so on so that way he will know the safe
way
to do things. However, don't limit his activity because you are afraid he
will hurt himself. )

the last fall on the hardwood floor resulted in a hymatoma (sp?) on the
head, I put blankets all over the floors but this one takes off right
away,
this why I am so worried.

It is not necessary to have a helmet for your baby. Bumping their heads
is
part of childhood. You will not be able to protect them from every
injury
and nor should you want to. Let your child explore and play and don't
worry
about injuries.
