Not me but my DH...when our DD was about 3 months old he took her and our then 3yo son to the supermarket. DD was asleep in the pushchair which was in the lie flat position and she wasn't strapped in. She woke up in the supermarket and DH sat her up a bit so she could look around, but forgot to strap her in, and he also had the shopping basket hanging off the pushchair handles. Our DS suddenly ran up the aisle towards him and bumped into the pushchair which tipped due to the weight of the shopping basket and DD flopped out like a ragdoll and landed face-first in the shopping basket. Thankfully she was fine but DH was mortified. Traumatised even. He arrived back home practically in tears. I wanted to throttle him and say "what the hell wre you thinking not strapping her in?", but there was no point...nothing I would have said could make him feel any worse than he did and, there was no way he was ever going to make that mistake again. Lesson learnt the hard way.

I hit my DD's head with the door the other day, and have bumped it getting in the car seat a couple of times. And we're constantly headbutting one another, and I wear glasses so it's worse for her!

When she was tiny I clipped her skin whilst cutting her nails, wobbled and fell on her whilst kneeling to change her nappy (managed to land mostly on my side but her foot got caught), and my hand slipped when I was trying to turn her over for tummy time and I ended up with it under her neck.

Only just now I failed to catch her and she fell flat on her face whilst leaning forward to grab something. She didn't notice but I did!

She beats me up on a daily basis. She's 9 months old.

Pulling on DS's trousers at about age 2 I pulled too hard, he jack-knifed and his face smashed on a piece of Duplo. It was a perfectly circular blood blister under his eyebrow. He still has a perfectly round scar.

Oh! And DH was lifting him up and down into the air at a café once and bashed his head into a hanging logo sign. It was at the height of cradle cap so it just left some cradle cap and hair hanging off the bottom of the sign.

We moved house when ds1 was 22 months. I brought him in to show him around the new place and excitedly lifted him high in the air. And slammed his head into the (much lower) doorframe Blush

My ddad bit my finger accidentally when I was a baby. It's still wonky.
