To feel like the worst mum in the world?

My almost two year old also fell down the stairs! Top to bottom which was honestly traumatising but she's fine

Babies bounce. Don't worry, many of us have had this freak thing happen with our babies. My 17yo did this and fell off the changing table as a baby which is higher up than a bed.

Your baby will more than likely be fine, it's the parents that get more of a fright than anything else!

Multiple times. I'm a terrible mum given that I hadn't learnt not to keep putting baby on the bed!

This happened to my DH when our son was a bit younger. DH placed DS on the sofa for two seconds while he got up to get DS's bottle and DS, who was only just starting to learn to roll at that point, rolled himself off the sofa, onto our wooden floor.
I was freaked out and a bit PFB, so I insisted that we took DS to A&E but there was nothing wrong with him.

OP this happened to me but the worst thing was the pram almost rolling into the road and a woman grabbed it. I still have flashbacks. It was without a doubt the worst few seconds of my life.

Many years ago I had baby on my hip trying to shut a bedroom door which wouldn't shut .....because my baby had put their fingers in the hinge side ,I was so upset I'd done it even though it was an accident.
It was just that for you an accident,we all do it at some point

Don’t worry OP. Something will have happened to every single one of us on here I can assure you!! And we will all feel absolutely horrendous and at the time like the worst mum ever. But we are not and I’m sure all our DC are happy and healthy now!

My DSis had her son roll off a changing unit onto her neck when she lent down to get fresh clothes out the drawers...
I had both babies roll off the bed and one off the sofa too.

Character building!! 🤔😂

Can I ask is this your first child?
I’m sure your little one is perfectly fine, they’re going to fall and get bumps even if you wrap them in cotton wool they’re just great at it.

🤣 I'm sorry just the image of an unfurling bassinet cracked me up. Babies are wily, they'll get into all sorts of shit and leave you standing there thinking what the fuck? 😳

It happens. And in the nicest way it won't be the last time. My 4th dc I put in pushchair. Didn't strap in as was in lounge but feeding them ( highchair covers were in washing machine) figured I'm sat here the pram bar was on.
However it wasn't clicked in. Dc leant forward and flipped out head first. 6m old onto tiled floor.
Felt so bad .
Other dcs gave fallen of beds , sofas you name it.
Please don't beat yourself up

When my son was learning to sit up he went to throw himself backwards and I reacted quickly to stop him from banging his head on a solid wall. I reacted so quickly I pulled his elbow and we had to take him to the children's hospital so they could manipulate it back into place. Not my finest parenting moment!

My DH smashed our 7 month old’s head against a stile when he was in the baby back pack out walking! He’s now 9 and top of the class. We’ve all done similar things app.

Happened to me around the same age - I called an ambulance she was absolutely fine

DD fell off a table at 2 months. I put her there in a baby snug thing while I did the washing. She was fine the first 10 or so times but then she learns to move and I didn't know. I took her to a&e I was terrified. But she was fine.

Happened to me. He now makes fun of me for it (he’s a 6ft+ teenager now) He was fine!

I accidentally punched my 7 day old baby I'm the face when I was trying to pull a scarf out from round my neck! I was devastated, I sobbed and sobbed, way longer than he did. He was fine 🤣 Second born fell off the sofa twice as a baby. It happens 🤷‍♀️

This happens to pretty much everyone.

happened to our oldest….youngest is still yet to roll off a bed but my husband did manage to only pick up one Basinette handle and dramatically “unfurl”/ roll our 3 day old baby a meter or so across our hall. 🤦🏻‍♀️
ultimately no babies were harmed

I left my baby on the cot top changer to have a quick wee - knew I shouldn’t have but was desperate & baby wasn’t old enough to move around much.

Obviously he fell off, I felt like the worst Mum in the world, he’s now 17 - just a distant memory from when he wasn’t six foot!

Completely understand that sick feeling.
My baby launched herself off the bed and the changing table once too. I was standing in front of her both times and she still managed! She also once flung herself back onto our hard wooden floor when she was learning to sit independently. No lasting damage and I was more upset than her every time.

What helped me was someone told me that there are only 2 types of parents - those that have had their babies fall off something under their supervision, and liars!

Welcome to the club, both mine have done it too all fine.

My baby slid off the bed while I was stood in front of her!!! It happens to us all.

Don’t worry op. That happens to every parent. The fact that you are fretting about it means you are a good mum. 💐
