I just wanted to know has anyone’s babies 6 months and under fell off a couch or bed etc and landed on back and hit head?

Yess my son fell out of my bed twice, I got him a cot in the end and fell out of his car seat when I turned around 2 days ago He fell last month he’s 6 months old now. He cried for a few minutes I think they just get scared and was fine after a few mins of cuddles

I just want to ask respectfully why was the 6 month left on the sofa alone even for a minute? The thing is a newborn (without boisterous toddlers or a curious pet around) and a soft and wide surface area might be ok but at 6 months they are a completely different baby, curious about the world and pretty strong and then they are now even stronger also with the top heavy physiques that can topple them over easily with all that enthusiam and eagerness they have at this stage. It's not just about getting excited, accidents happen. A better place for a 6 month old would be a big bed as long as they are right in the middle and with pillows either side - better still only if they are asleep or in a safe space but the lower the better - now floor level is safer so in a play pen or travel cot or on those foam tiles, colourful padded cushions etc (or just a changing mat) is good or a baby seat.

yes ur deffo right. But even a bed, my friends child fell off a bed even being in the middle it just depends on what ur child is capable of doing at any age growing that’s why nothing is safe other than like u Said being on the ground.

Happened to my son twice (under 6 months) actually and it just proved to me that he’s starting to get a bit more curious about the world and wanting to move! I felt absolutely awful on both occasions but he was absolutely fine. I have been able to leave him for a little bit to grab something across the room for him before and then those incidents happened and from then I haven’t even chances it for a second. Bloody scary though!😅

Yes, you're right, I thought about adding that, that you know your child but if in doubt don't put them anywhere you're not sure about leaving them! They have been fed for 6 months and grown strong bones and muscles in that time and also generally weigh a lot for that little sized body so yes they are mini powerhouses that can choose to push off into any direction at any time! 🤦🏻‍♀️🙂

Mine fell off our bed a few days ago while my partner turned his back for a second to grab a muslin. She rolled over twice and fell on the wooden floor from the middle of the bed. She cried for about a minute and had a red mark on her head but was fine. I know accidents happen but I was sooooo mad!
