Head bump

We were at swimming today, in the changing room before swimming my wee girl (8 months old) fell and hit her head off the tiles and was screaming. I felt like such a failure and got upset myself and a room full of mums I’ve never felt so lonely! Not one person came up to ask if I or baby was okay or ask if I needed any help. They all sat there laughing and continuing their discussion. I feel so upset that my baby really hurt herself and then not one person came to our aid to help. Am I over reacting or not? Honestly never felt like such a failure.

It happens, babies hurt themselves occasionally. If she really hurt herself I wouldn’t be worrying what the other mums were doing and would take her to get checked out.

Oh I’m so sorry, how are you feeling how is your baby ? This is awful, I can only imagine your pain Personally first thing I would have done if I was there is check on you and little one sorry no one did ! Don’t be so hard on yourself it happens you are certainly not a failure !!! I wish for more solidarity between mums🥲

@Nana I’m feeling a bit better and baby is okay. Thank you for asking. She has a wee lump on her head and I checked her over fully and made sure she was okay. I am the same as you and would’ve checked on the mum and baby to see if I could help in any way. It was more because when I had help one week at swimming with changing etc I asked if anyone wanted help with babies so they could get dressed etc and when I was vulnerable and could’ve done with a wee bit of help or just reassured / calmed down, no one helped.
