Just wondering. My cousin is learned how to talk at the age of 5 and still has some trouble perfecting her grammar (she's now 8). I just learned that she was dropped as a baby. Could her slow language skills be a result of the drop?
What are the effects of dropping a baby?

They bruise like apples, which completely ruins the flavor.
Remember that to get any sort of statistical significance, you'll have to perform multiple double-blind tests on multiple babies.
Say, 5 babies that don't get dropped...control
5 babies that get dropped once...group A
5 babies that get dropped twice...group B
5 babies that get dropped 3 times...group C
....
Once you get to group D4, you should be good.

When i was 3 months old my Aunt Mary dropped me down a flight of concrete stairs. I had a concusion over 95% of my brain and had a double fractured skull. Spent 3 months in a hospital.
Not a single side affect. On the other hand Mary went crazy with guilt and tore all her hair out .

I was dropped on my head, and I'm alright. My forehead hit the corner of a coffee table, and I still have a little indent in my forehead from it.
I also managed to fracture my skull when I fell out of a hotel bed onto a hard floor.

Babies are built very tough, although they don't look like it. Typically, a baby can survive a fall/drop without any nasty long-term effects or concussion. Although possible, I doubt a single fall would affect her language skills. I'd look into other factors.
is not caused by doppping and infant. Furthermore, an 8 year old is is not efected by Sudden Infant Death Syndrym
I were fallen as whe I little not prolem hir.
Seriously, just "being dropped" doesn't automatically make you a candidate for mental retardation. Babies are actually pretty lively around the 6-12 month period. I can certainly imagine a baby bucking itself out of its mothers arms in a major tantrum. Chances are, a large number of us were dropped as children. The only reason that you know your cousin was dropped is that someone other than her mother saw it. I wonder how many times you were dropped when no one was there to see it?

Well, my 11mo daughter hasn't ever been "dropped" but she has rolled off our bed onto the floor, nose dived out of the recliner, and fallen off of me onto the floor while i was sitting in the recliner. After the initial scare she's been fine every time, not even a mark on her.
i'll let you know in a few years if she's having any issues.
