Baby fell from changing table - how do I get over the guilt?!

So today I was pumping at the same time as stopping the dog barking at the binmen and had my 4m old on the changing table. My pump leaked and I turned away for one second and my poor girl launched herself off - a good 2.5-3ft onto a hard floor. She wailed (as did I) and I couldn’t stop shaking for ages. I checked her over, called my wife at work and we went to the walk in straightaway. They advised a&e due to her age and way she fell so off we went - a 3hr wait. The docs were happy with her and sent us home. She has no visible injuries and seems ok in herself - was laughing at the nurses and tried to put a thermometer in her mouth!! Will obviously keep an eye on her. But how do I get over the guilt? I keep seeing her lying on the floor and just keep crying. I do wonder if I’m coping so well at the moment - my partner worked all day Friday then was away overnight at the weekend for the first time, and she was inconsolable Saturday night due to teething. Then she was at work again today so 4 days on my own was a lot. Baby won’t take boob anymore unless really sleepy or it’s middle of the night, so I’m pumping but struggling to find the time in the day along with everything else - and the dog’s hurt his paw so have to take him to the vets. Over Christmas we were all ill - baby with rsv and us with Covid, plus our in laws were here for 2 weeks(!) so didn’t have an enjoyable first Christmas really and feel like I’ve not decompressed. Sorry I’ve gone off a tangent - someone tell me I’m not a terrible mum 🥺🥺🥺🥺

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Post partum dad

I have a 2 month old. A few weeks ago my husband crashed out because he didn't feel like he was getting to bond with her. I started exclusively breastfeeding around that time and honestly didnt see the big deal. Baby and I left for a few days and when we got back home, everything was fine. He was extremely hands-on. He helped with my meals, her bedtime, bath, stories.....for a few weeks it was great. Then he randomly sounds depressed af. He says our lo is better off without him, he wants to sleep all day , he asks me not to watch tv then tried playing a video game. He refused to reply to me when i asked any follow-up questions. Then he woke up our baby trying to race me to the bathroom first thing in the morning . He's doing a weird mix of crying, trying, and giving up. Im starting to feel like I cant handle him not being able to handle life with baby and just want to be alone. Are there resources for men?

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.

Do I need to pay anything when my child starts school in September

I'm a new mum and obviously didn't grow up in the uk. I currently pay roughly £640 for nursery fees. I'm wondering if my expenses will reduce when my LO starts school or there'll be other expenses (besides bags, uniform etc) will my expenses be anywhere close to £600 monthly?
