BABY JUST FEEL OUT THE BED IM SHAKING

[sleepdeprivedma]

Posting here for traffic as I need help.

my 10 month old has just fallen out my bed he's been badly teething I put him in my bed round 2am my parter got up to use the bathroom and he's falling out over the side he cried for a minute but then settled but he's going back to sleep now should I let him? I'm in tears myself cause I feel so guilty there is no sign off injury I can't believe it. I don't know what to do. Should I keep him up?

One of my (male) friends dropped his baby son twice, completely accident obviously and his son is a strapping 23 year old now. No problems.

Where were you 7 years ago? 😂

DD rolled out of bed at around ten months.i thought she was fast asleep and I was literally only a foot away when it happened. She cried. I cried. She was fine.

When she was older, she decided to sky dive off the bed head first. It was so sudden and I was so close I still can’t believe I didn’t reach her in time. She didn’t cry for the longest 3 seconds of my life. Then she screamed the place down. She was fine.

I do have to say though, choosing a paramedic as her godmother was one the smartest things I have done! I’m so grateful to have her at the end of the phone for things like this. She has always calmed me down and told me what to do and what to look for. I’m pretty sure she rolls her eyes after she hangs up.

This is really common. Don’t feel guilty. 💐

Pointless. Their algorithm invariably says "Go To A & E"
so you might as well either go there, or not ring 111 at all.

My son fell out of his highchair in the kitchen at 14 months. I came in from
shopping, put him in but one of the straps hadn’t clicked in. Turned my back to start putting the shopping away and he fell out. Took him straight to A&E who said it was a good thing he’d cried straight away. He had a bump on his head and I was given a list of things to look out for. I felt guilty for months and months. Accidents happen 💕

Oh you poor thing, I'm sure he's absolutely fine.

My then 4 month old rolled off the bed and I remember the shock and worry. She's now 10.

Try not to beat yourself up about it. Hugs x

Just to address the co sleeping he does normally sleep in his own bed he is badly teething atm so that's the reason he ended up in with me he had plenty room and there were no pillows or loose covers he slept in his own bed till 2 and he rolled off at 5 he seems absolutely fine and I've checked again there are no bumps or anything but definitely a lesson learned

There may not be another bed but putting a baby between 2 adults is against safe sleep 7 which requires preferably a breastfeeding mother to sleep in a protective c curl around the baby and noone else.in the bed.

My DD fell off the bed twice as a baby. Once I was standing right near her putting clothes away! Please be kind to yourself

DD fell out of her cot, seemed fine but has actually broken her collarbone, so just keep an eye today.

We had no idea, no bruising, no outward symptoms until about 12 hours after it happened when she started holding her arm funny and they x-rayed her at A&E.

Markers for concern are landing on head and not crying.

111 is the last thing you'd do.

They will read from a script, apply no common sense and have OP and her baby sit in A&E for hours.

You have some good advice here. Hope all is well this morning.

babies take falls when they get mobile.

I really wouldn’t worry about it.

You're not obliged to answer any of the questions about cosleeping, you came for advice on the fall, not about your sleeping arrangements. It's none of these peoples business.

I'm glad wee one is OK, as I said in my last post, it happens to most of us at one point or another.

There's nothing on the lullaby trust about being no other adults in the bed. Read the information properly. The only thing it says about other adults is no drink and no drugs.
It doesn't say anything about a C shape around the baby either, although that's the natural position to adopt.

Awww, rite of passage OP. Both my babies fell out the bed at one point 🥴. I felt awful of course but they were both just fine. If it wasn’t the morning , I’d suggest having a glass of bubbly to mark this milestone 😆.
Ignore the posters on at you about safe sleep, it’s nothing to do with your OP and it’s none of their business xx

No it isn’t. It’s exactly what I did.

They sent an ambulance, arrived fairly quickly (we don’t live in a big city either), and they have us an appointment time at A&E so we didn’t have to wait.

God forbid it happens again I would do the same again.

It’s fine to have baby between two adults who
are aware baby is there from 4 months of age.

I mean this is exactly the kind of ridiculous shit that left my friend’s husband lying on the floor waiting for an ambulance for 5 hours after he had a stroke.
A baby that’s fallen off the bed does not need an ambulance FFS.

I didn’t ask for an ambulance. They sent one because we don’t drive and it was the middle of the night.

And no, it isn’t. Every HCP we saw said we did the right thing.

Then get in a taxi or on a bus

Rural location - there were no taxis or buses. As I said, it was the middle of the night.

Fair enough. Sounds like it was the only option then in your case.
But honestly this is the kind of stuff 111 does all the time. They’ve suggested it to me every time Ive called them about a baby, when I was living in central London and less than 1.5 miles from the hospital. When I was a new mum I went along with it thinking that it must be important or they wouldn’t have suggested it , but I soon learned that this is just what happens if you ring 111. That pp is right. They always go through an irrelevant , scripted assessment; and then for a baby they will send you to A&E and in an ambulance no matter what!
