I just knocked DS's head!

[Florries]

My poor little baby!! He's 9 months. Was standing in the doorway and turned around, I must have had my spacetial awareness turned off because as I turned, DS's knocked his head onto the side of the door. It was fucking awful. He did that really awful cry.

I've never accidentally hurt him before. I know these things happen but I feel like such a shit mum. DS is fine now but I can't stop having a little cry. I never ever want my little boy to feel pain and I am the one that caused it!!!!

I feel like the world's worst mum currently and don't deserve my beautiful, happy boy. 😭

We've all been there. You didn't mean to hurt him. Give him a cuddle, take a few deep breaths and have a cuppa .
It's probably the first of many knocks he will get, it's part of growing up and exploring.
You're doing great

We've all done it. That and bashing my DS's little head when putting him in the car seat.

He'll be fine, don't worry :) x

My 9 month old fell from her high chair the other day. I was putting her in when she suddenly arched her back and just lept. She cried for a few minutes and was fine. I cried all day. It happens.

Yep I done that around the same age with DS. I literally was just walking through a doorway with him and he arched back and bam. Felt sooo bad at the time but these things do just happen. Your doing great mama

Thank you so much! It's so awful. I feel like I've avoided some near misses and caught him just split seconds before an accident could have happened so I'm so cross at myself for not being more aware. He's got a poor little bruise and I keep looking at him and crying! Poor boy!!!!

We've all done it. It happened to my DS a couple of months ago on the car door.

He cried for about 2 minutes. But my god, I STILL feel guilty now.

It happens to all of us. I still feel awful when my boy hurts himself and he’s 20 months and gets into all sorts of scrapes now he’s on the move. You didn’t mean to hurt him, don’t feel bad. He’s lucky to have a mummy that cares so much about him

I'm not a mum, but when I was a toddler my mum accidentally dislocated my elbow trying to save me from falling off a garden wall. The fall itself would've done less damage Kids are clumsy but they're also pretty robust. Don't blame yourself
