Baby fell off the bed for the first time

This happened in the middle of the night, we co sleep and usually he’s in between dad & i but im sleeping over my moms. Sometimes he tends to sit up in his sleep and “crawl” or climb over me or the pillow. Anyways, i think he did that last night and i heard a thump and crying. I shot up so fast and picked him up and he seemed fine and barely cried. his fall was somewhat broken by the pillow falling too. I kept him up for 30 min to make sure he was okay and he fell back asleep. I felt SO guilty. I COULDNT SLEEP FOR THREE HOURS. And once i did, i had a nightmare following what just happened. It involved him having a seizure some time later due to falling off the bed and i was cryinggggg. Idk i just feel so guilty i never thought he would fall off the bed😭 he’s fine tho

He will be fine !

Girl the same thing happened to my girl last night and my husband immediately got on Amazon and ordered bed rails 😭 I was so upset but she cried for literally 30 seconds 🤣

It’s happened to my boyfriend a few times (🙄). Falls happen! My baby boy is recklesss and is always climbing and crawling and falling. If his demeanor changes, take him in!!

It happened with us also, she cried for 5 seconds.
We ordered bed rails, really recommend this one, because the other ones didn’t help (it was a gap between the rail and the wall and she fell)

Awww, it's okay, momma! If he still seems okay right now, then he'll be okay. My baby fell off the bed when she was 4 or 5 months ago, and she was starting to roll. Hubby warned me not to leave her on the bed alone, and I knew better, but I was changing her diaper and stepped away to get wipes and a clean outfit and I thought if she turned it would be still on the bed but she rolled diagonally and off the bed. She had a little mark on her nose between her eyes from where she hit the leg of bassinet, but I monitored her and she was alright.

He’s fine- mine fell off during the day when I was watching her and she was right next to me at 6 months.. fell backwards flat onto her head- from about 2 feet - Dr said if no vomiting for 24 hours she’s fine- she cried for 3 minutes then wanted back up… same here- I cried all the way to work and was a basket case.. texted my friends and found out it happened to all of them too- I think it’s part of being a parent :/

My dude has fallen off twice 😢
I feel like a terrible mom but they move so damn fast

Dummies🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Has anyone got any tips on how to GET RID of dummies😂🤦🏼‍♀️ my little girl is obsessed and i have no idea where to start!!

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?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

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?

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.

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😢💗
