Son rolled off the bed this morning :(

Hi guys. I feel like such a bad mum at the fact this happened, we had a terrible night with baby last night so he came in to our room at 3:30.
He slept safely until 7 and then half 7, because I was so tired I nodded off for 5 minutes. Next minute baby is on the floor crying his eyes out 😢 We took him to A&E, he is absolutely fine just has a couple of bruises on his head.

They made me feel so bad about it because they mentioned about reporting a safeguarding case. I didn't do it on purpose 😭

Has this happened to anyone before? x

My little one did a month or so ago I turned round and in seconds army rolled off the bed. It was awful but she’s fine. I took her to docs to check her over but they said she’s absolutely fine. It’s such an awful feeling x

My brother was carrying his daughter downstairs in a seat when the handle broke. She bounced down half a flight of stairs and the doctors in A an E made a referral to social services - they have to for the child's and their own protection. They visited the house once and that was the end of it so try not to worry.

it’s awful, I was an absolute mess about it for days. If they come see you and see everything and know it was an accident it will be fine. My doctor was like accidents happen. We have all been there

Yeah, I guess I'll just wait and see what happens xx

My daughter pounced off the bed last night, headfirst. She cried, I cried, luckily I’m at my mams house so she was there to calm me down 😂 baby is totally fine I’m still not totally fine but as others have said, accidents do happen, as much as we’d like to wrap them in cotton wool they will hurt themselves sometimes!

aw bless you :( you do feel so bad don't you. Did you have to take her to A&E? Xx

We didn’t just as luckily my mam is a
Paediatric nurse and was able to check her over. I probably would have if I’d been at home though, or at least rang 111 to ask for advice. X

My lo fell off the sofa when she was 8 weeks old. She was absolutely fine and we didn’t go to a&e.

Don’t worry about the safeguarding thing, the hospital is just covering their backs. My lo crawled over to the bag last Friday and pulled out the flask of hot water which leaked and burnt her leg and we ended up going to a & e even though it was tiny and it was a right palava. The dr that saw her on the day said that they usually have to do a safeguarding report but they could see she wasn’t being neglected and she was a happy cheery baby so they weren’t going to do one then the hv (who haven’t bothered with us since she was 2 weeks old) rang to make sure I was taking her for a follow up on Monday because if I didn’t they’d get social services involved so I took her but the minor injuries unit wouldn’t treat her and referred us to the nearest burns unit (45 minutes away) and they laughed when they saw her because of how small the burn was and said me going there was a waste of time 🤷🏼‍♀️😂.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂
