Oh god, baby rolled off chair. Not today!

[macneil]

Please someone tell me babies can roll off chairs once and it doesn't give them brain damage. I have a 22 hour (if you add the bits up) flight later today, alone with the baby, and didn't sleep last night for worrying about it - this morning I have to go to the British Consulate and pick up her passport (3 buses each way), and I didn't realise how good she was at rolling and she fell about a foot and a half onto carpet. The silent rage cry, then she was really upset. She was also hungry and tired so I'm hoping there was some overlap. Can find no bumps, she was smiling at herself in the mirror soon afterwards but then crying again. I wanted her to be the most sissy mollycoddled baby ever and I am already abusing her. I may have time to take her to the GP, so do you think that's best?

baby 4.5 months.

She's fine.
Seriously!
She fell on carpet, she is happy now and there is no obvious damage.

I don't know how old my brother (baby) was when one of friends who was about 9 at the time picked him up, he threw up down her front and she literally threw him on the floor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If she isn't acting strangely i would think she is fine. Might have a bit of a headache? so maybe miserable?

meant to say and he was fine, also lost count of the times i dropped him and i can also remember once when i put him on the edge of a bunk bed because he'd been sick i climbed to the top bunk to get a towel to clean him up and he rolled off with the weight of me moving the bed!

Hes the brightest of all of us can you believe!

Oh, thanks for telling me what I wanted to hear. I will take serious advisements to see GP seriously, though. Have to take her to consulate now. Thanks thanks thanks.

My 5 mo dd rolled off the bed last week. I just kept a close eye on her but she was behaving normally so didn't take her to the docs or anything. I was mortified and can't believe I'm telling people this but just wanted you to know you're not the only one

I don't believe there is a single person alive today that hasn't at one time or another, fell off a chair/table/bed as a baby

my dd (now 2) fell off the bed when she was about this age.........twice no detrimental effects!

They bounce well at that age!

hard not to beat yourself up about it tho! just keep a bit of an eye on her!

ds2 fell all the way from the top of the stairs to the bottom when he was 1 year old. I was distraught and so was he - he had 3 lumps on his head, but he is absolutely fine now. (He frequently tells me that he would be a genius if I had been a better parent, but he is an A student anyway, and just likes to wind me up).

It was an accident - he got out of the living room when a visitor left the door open when I was in the kitchen for about one minute. There was a stairgate at the top, but not at the bottom, because we had lost the fixings in the house move, so I was relying on keeping the door into the hall tightly closed. I felt really terrible, but these things happen.
