Fall from bed
My little one was in my bed 2 nights ago and my bed is high it's just under his height.
He shuffled right to the end and fell off in the night even though we had pillows to stop this. He got a little mark on his eye looks like a small bruse under the other but he's been fine since.
Should I have taken him to be checked out? I'm panicking now because he was fine after a cuddle no bump or anything. I obviously felt so guilty about this but seen a horrible article about a 7 month old falling for the bed and passed away and now I'm so worried
Sorry to read this! You aren’t alone - we’ve had a couple of falls. You could for peace of mind still go to the GP but as it was 2 nights ago he should be fine aside from the bruise. They usually advise after a fall to just make sure they stay conscious and monitor any signs like vomiting or serious injury etc. Babies/Toddlers are pretty resilient though and seem to be mostly fine for all the knocks they have. The GP said it happens a lot and they are mostly worried if it’s above 50cm, closer to a metre. Sorry about the article you read, I think it’s down to the impact of where they land and feel as it’s been 2 nights that it’s unlikely anything serious has occurred but again for peace of mind maybe speak to the GP. It certainly won’t be the first bed fall they have heard.
