Mum guilt- baby almost fell
Show your support
The amount of times I've had to drive on top of my little girl coz she's half off the bed is mental. She has a think of trying to get onto the floor by sliding off the bed. She's hit her head a couple of times too. She thinks it's the best game but that heart stopping feeling you get and the guilt that follows is immense. I find comfort in the fact that babies bounce and only react if you do. She'll keep rolling around and getting herself stuck everywhere and hit herself. It's a learning thing and they'll quickly get used to a new bruise they've given themselves
Thank you both, felt much better she giggled straight after. And yes have to get used to this new normal now.
Mine nearly fell off the bed, she was dangling by her waist on the side of the next to me crib. Scared the life out of me. She wasn’t bothered. Spoke to a friend who said hers had fallen out of bed twice! 🫢 It’s really easily done. Don’t beat yourself up about it and just learn for the future.
@Faye thank you hope you're Ok
Honestly, as soon as babies start moving, you need eyes in every part of your body, and it's just not possible. They're going to fall. They're going to attempt to get into anywhere they can and get stuck. It's just a normal part of learning to move and exploration. She wasn't hurt. it seems like she was just chilling waiting until you noticed. There's nothing to feel guilty about.
