Currently feeling like the worst mother on this planet. Was playing with Carter on the couch and I turned around to get my drink and I heard a huge thud I look over and he fell off the couch in the second I turned around 😩😔😪 I have hard tile floor and he fell off hit the side of his little head and onto his back his little cry broke my heart and now I feel like shit... 😔
Yes the baby will be fine if your a shitty momma so are all of us all of my kids has hit there floor......I cried yes but they are just fine and smart as ever 😘
- Babies are more resilient than we think.. Just the fact that you’re upset over a completely normal accident says something about your parenting. You’re a good mom. Keep it up 💙
Same thing happened with my son at 2-3 months. I felt awful. It’s ok though cause I think every parent has that scare before realizing their little one is squirming around too much to leave unattended on the couch. I had to learn the hard way and hated myself for being so stupid but once again you’re not alone
Omg girl, same thing happened to us except we have wooden arms on our couch(we have since covered with pool noodles) but I turned around for his bottle and I hear a thud as well but he ended up with a little bruise under his eye. I felt so bad and felt like shhht but we make mistakes, I thought I was doing all I can to protect him and didn't even think about the arm because I usually put a pillow there but now I know and we can only learn from our mistakes.
@sarasmilesatyou, it was just awful :( I called the on call pediatrician and she told me what to watch out for and if something seems off to bring him in. He has been acting okay but I still am freaking out. I’ll probably end up taking him tomorrow just to be safe because I feel so guilty and paranoid now.
Girl, it’s gonna happen a lot more than you think. Trust me. You cannot trust them anymore when they start to become more active. Believe me, I feel like major crap and the worst mother. After Oscar fell once, he fell twice more IN THE SAME MONTH. He’s okay. Thank God. But it doesn’t make me feel any better. Just keep in mind accidents happen. It’s not your fault, try not to be so hard on yourself. You’re baby is going to be okay. That’s gonna be the first of many falls. Make sure you go to the doctor and make sure he’s okay though.
Accidents happen. It probably scared him more then anything. Just keep him up for a little bit with tons of cuddles
@peoplecallmesatan, I understand. I did the same thing, Oscar was fine but I felt so bad and took him in anyway. It’s better to be safe than sorry! It’s okay mama, don’t be so hard on yourself. You’re doing the best you can!
