Baby fell

Honestly please don’t beat yourself up about it, it happens and it happens to all of us. I have a 2 year old and she fell off my bed around 5/6 months old and I cried. Couldn’t stop crying and felt absolutely awful. But it happens and it will happen numerous times as they get older! X

Omg listen I fell outside while holding the car seat and the car seat hit the ground with me!! Baby was sooo upset. I know the feeling I was mortified for days beating myself up imagining if he had of been in my arms. I took him to the walk in centre to be checked over even though there wasn't a mark on him but I hated myself for days. Don't worry girl everyone will tell you these things happen to most mums at some point ❤️

I hit my little boys head on the car when I was getting him out - he screamed for all of about 10 seconds and had a small red mark. I called 111 to be safe but he was fine. This happened like 2 months ago and I still think about it now these things happen though don't beat yourself up 🙃

I rolled off my changing table when I was 3 months old and I’m okay and your baby will be too! Today I accidentally tapped my baby’s head on our headboard and he also somehow managed to do his first roll onto my partners toes and scratch his eyelid on his toenail 😅 babies are durable, and you are an amazing mum, but you can’t be everywhere all the time xx

So sorry this happened, but please don't worry, accidents happen like this all the time. Last week I was at a rather full book bug with loads of parents and put my daughter on a chair while I put my carrier on, did she not tip over, I caught her just in time before she head butted the floor but what a fright and so many people there, I was mortified and felt awful. I have also bashed her coming out the car. Just wait until he is a toddler, then the real trouble starts 🙈 You are doing fab hun, honestly don't worry xx

Thank you everyone for these lovely words. This community really is a special place and you’ve made one sad mum feel less alone ❤️

I remember when my first rolled off the bed, I felt AWFUL but I saw a post on here that another mum wrote about her little one falling off the bed. So so many comments from other mums saying it also happened to them. The one that stuck with me was the mum who said “baby falling off the bed is almost like a right of passage of being a mum” like it happens to all of us basically. You feel so much guilt but honestly we cannot wrap them in cotton wool. Your baby will be fine.
