feeling awful

hi all, feeling like a terrible mother here 🙁 i've just left my 4 month old DD in the middle of my double bed while i nipped downstairs for a bottle, heard screaming and ran back upstairs and she'd fallen down the end of the bed and got wedged between the wall and the bed.. screaming her poor head off. i shouted for my mum and she came up held the baby and calmed her down, my reaction probably wasn't helping her crying. she's fine now squealing away and playing as usual but i can't stop feeling so so bad about it. there was a bucket of wallpaper glue on the floor at the end of the bed as i'm decorating (slow process) and if she'd fallen the other side she would have fell into that, possibly face first and i can't get the thought of her drowning out of my head. my mums tried her best to calm me down and told me that me and both of my brothers both fell off the bed when we were babies but i still feel awful about it. has this happened to anyone else or am i really the worlds worst mother 😭

All babies fall off the bed at least once. It's a right of passage. I'm sure your baby is fine. It's more fun when they start moving ☺️

My DS's Moses basket slipped off the sofa and he rolled out onto the (carpeted, luckily) floor with the Moses basket upside down next to him. He was TWO WEEKS old ShockShockBlush.
I was much more careful with my next son. He was three months old before he rolled off our very high bed. Hmm.
Both were fine. Don't worry about it. Thanks

I'm glad your baby is ok. Flowers Time to start baby proofing your home, though!
