I messed up..

So my 5 month old rolled off the couch today. I know it was my fault because I left him there to grab something and we’ll... He seems fine but my husband is terribly mad at me. I feel like a horrible mom. Has this happened to anyone else??

It hasn’t happened to me but we all do things that are risky You’d know if he wasn’t fine (off his feeds, not his usual self, crying/screaming (as if in pain), don’t feel like a bad mam, it’s not like you did it on purpose and knew he’d fall off and it’s not like you pushed him off. An easy thing to do that I’m sure many mam’s have done before !

This happened to us! ☹️ I had my baby sound asleep on the foot rest, I walked away for two seconds to grab some water. And out of nowhere my baby burst out crying. When I came back, I saw that our cat had jumped onto the foot rest and it pushed it down causing baby to roll off. As soon as I picked him up he stoped crying, i don’t think he got hurt at all, just spooked. You’re not a bad mom! You didn’t do it on purpose. We are all learning how to be mommas, and we all make mistakes ❤️

my baby fell off the bed. it happens to soooo many parents. there’s no reason for him to be mad, accidents happen and i’m sure your baby is totally okay. you’re not a terrible mom

My daughter fell off the bed a few weeks ago. I felt horrible but all kids/babies are bound to fall off things at some point 😫

This has happened to me. He has fallen from the bed and the couch. I always felt bad. But accidents happen! Just keep an eye out for symptoms.

Yes my baby fell. He was only 5m and I was washing the dishes and I hear a loud THUMP and then wahhhhhhhhhh and I go in, and he’s ON THE FLOOR. This 5m old baby stood up climbed over the cot bars and dropped on the floor lol I lowered the cot that very same day, shocked the hell out of me how he did everything so friggin early, he was standing aided against the couch by 6m 😵‍💫

So Similar my daughter was 10 months old lying on my bed with me in the middle of the day, we never cosleep but we had had a dreadful night sleep wise and she was very irritable and I thought a lie down cuddle might help, except I drifted off and she tried to climb off the bed head first. Momma instincts woke me straight away, I grabbed her legs and it stopped her falling fully but I still heard a thunk where either her arms or head hit the ground, pulled her back up and checked her and it was absolutely fine no red marks to be seen but the guilt I felt was immense

@Beth That’s amazing how you woke up just on time

You are not a horrible person. It has happened to every mom I know. Mine rolled off the bed twice when he was under a year old. Don’t let your husband shame you or be mad. Just do your best to prevent it again but it doesnt mean anything about you as a parent. It just means you’re human. If your baby seems fine he is fine.

Try rolling down the stairs i hated myself for weeks. We had a baby gate upstairs but eventually baby gate started pushing the banister out so it became loose 😭 i was having a wee with the door opened and next thing i see my daughter falling over the gate and me running after her to stop her 😭😭 we had no carpets on the stairs she was so bruised but still ok I wanted to die that day. I couldnt have a good night sleep for days. Now she is over 2 and such a happy soul

Everyones baby falls, dont feel bad. Mines fell too. Hes fine.
