Baby fell off bed

My baby fell off the bed . She is 7 months old. I have just given her a bath and turned away for few seconds to get her body cream and next thing I heard is a thud. She had rolled to the edge of the bed from the middle . I have checked her over and there seem to be no bruises or injuries though she cried after she fell. I’m very worried and don’t know what to do. Is it worth it for the GP to check her out?😢😢 I don’t know how to handle this . I’m a FTM. 🙏

I don't want to give any medical advice necessarily but just wanted to say....you're not alone! Mine fell off last week. And many many others do too! We might learn for next time!
I checked her over and kept an eye out but she seemed fine. The only thing that would have made me feel better about seeing a medical professional was if they would have given her a head CT. But they wouldn't have unless there were some severe symptoms so I wouldn't have got the reassurance I wanted! A friends baby fell off the bed and was vomiting (concussed) and they still didn't do any scans or anything just a quick check over and said to keep an eye.
If you become worried about a particular symptom rather than just "what if" or the guilt talking, that's the point to take her to see someone I think.

Okay will keep an eye on her. She seems her usual self though. Thanks so much😍

Bad to say but my son is 7months an crawling big time since about 5 an a half months an he has crawled for the bed like 4times since then. His been ok every time. You think he would learn. But nope he keeps doing it . An i gotta caught him everytime😂

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?
