I went to a cafe today with DD (8 months). Had a brief chat with two other mums on my way out when I hear my DD screaming. When I turned round she had fallen head first out of her pushchair - I had forgotten to close the straps!!! Luckily she was fine and stopped crying after about half a minute but I felt like the worst mother and I'm sure everyone else in the cafe (it was packed) thought the same. After I picked her up and tried to leave the pushchair kept falling over (along with other items) as the bag hanging on it was so heavy and people kept having to pick things up off the floor for me, I felt like such an idiot and amateur mother! I keep thinking my daughter could have really injured herself and still shiver at the thought of what happened.
