Right before bed, my baby fell off the bed onto a soft surface, about a 2-foot fall. He was fairly easily consoled, was able to nurse and fall asleep for the night no problem. I’m under the weather and not on my game and I feel really bad even though of course I didn’t mean for it to happen. I know what to watch for, etc. I guess I just need to tell someone it happened. If you have had something similar happen and baby was fine, please share. 🙏

This happened to me too. I read a a few similar posts a few weeks back too.
Mine fell and bruised his cheek. I felt so terrible. He cried, but I whipped out a boob immediately and fed him and that worked to calm him down. He acted normal and everything seemed fine but I took him to urgent care still since it was a fall while under 1yo. They checked him out and everything was OK. If he had fallen before or had vomited or acted weird, they would have done a scan. The doctor just did a physical exam and told me to monitor him and not to put him in the bed anymore. Now he is either confined in his crib, or pack'n'play or he's on the floor.
Thank you, Annie. 💜 I’m so glad your baby is Ok! I will definitely be putting him on the floor or in crib next time. I’m not used to how FAST he is with crawling now!!

My little girl fell off the bed last night onto the floor which is a very hard surface. I felt horrible and my anxiety forced me to take her to the ER where they said she was fine. Just here for support and reassurance that it happens and they’re ok ☺️

Glad your baby boy is okay. This just happened to my baby girl also.She’s doing fine and I was able to calm her in seconds, my anxiety is just through the roof right now because of it.

My baby fell off the bed today. I went to the ER and they said he was fine not a mark on him.. I’m still super stressed and feeling horrible
I totally understand. It feels awful. But I’m glad you went for peace of mind.
I didn’t go and now it’s been over 48 hours and he’s acting normal so I feel better but still it’s a horrible feeling!
