7 month old pulled a pillow over her face!

[alsxx]

Please someone tell me I'm not the worst mum in the world because the guilt I'm feeling right now is eating me alive😰

My 7 month old had just woken up and I laid her on my bed so I could run to the toilet (her dad was in bed asleep next to her) I must of been gone for not even a minute and when I came back she'd somehow managed to pull my pillow over her whole face😭 ide like to think she'd only just done it and she looked like she was panicking obviously I ripped the pillow away as soon as I noticed it and she screamed at the top of her lungs! I think this is because she was startled or scared, I instantly burst out crying and I can't stop thinking that she may have developed so kind of brain damage or something😢 she's been absolutely fine since still her playful self but I feel like the worlds worst mum and I shouldn't even be allowed to be a parent because how could I let something like that happen😭

You poor thing. The main thing is she is ok. Don’t blame yourself just learn from it and put it down to experience. Take care x

She’ll be fine op don’t worry. Learn from this and don’t leave her alone on the bed again, at that age she could easily roll off.

thank you, we do have a bed guard on the side of our bed so rolling off wouldn't of been the issue but of course I won't ever be leaving her on there again x

thank you💗

You’re not the worlds worst mum. We all do things that we probably wouldn’t if we had time to do a full safety assessment, but that’s not a reality. Don’t beat yourself up about this. And if there’s “something wrong” you’ll soon notice some signs (but I feel confident she’ll be just fine).

Thank you this made me feel so much better❤️ I appreciate you taking the time to reply x
