Please no negativity!

Posting anonymously bc I feel like a piece of garbage, my girl is almost 6 months old and she naps on a queen size bed in her room, she doesn’t know how to crawl yet (well now she does) she started crawling as I was washing bottles in the kitchen and she crawled right off the bed, she fell about 2 feet the bed is Pretty low to the ground. I called 911 and had them. Check her out because she has a bruise on her forehead and some carpet burn around her eye but she’s perfectly fine and she’s doing great, she decided she wanted a bottle and to play not even 15 mins after, but has this happen to someone else I just need some reinsurance im not a bad mom

I see soo many posts on fb mom groups- the baby fell off the bed, off the couch, out of the swing! It's definitely very common. Baby is fine so think of this as a lesson! If it COULD happen, do whatever it takes to prevent it because it probably will. 😅

Girl it happened to me too! But with an ottoman lol. Stuff like this happens and that fact that you’re so upset about it just means you’re a good mom!

It honestly happens to the best of us. When my oldest was six months old, I had taken the tray off of his high chair, and I had forgotten that I did not buckle him, and I took the tray to the sink and during that process, he tipped forward and fell on the ground. It was about a two to 2 1/2 foot fall and it was right on his head. I also called 911 but he was perfectly fine and he is perfectly fine now. I think it happens to everyone. We are not perfect and we do the best we can. Give yourself grace, Momma.

You are not a bad mom at all. It’s a universal experience for most moms. I’ve literally been told that my 11 month old needs to fall off the bed before she turns 1 because it’s necessary for development (whatever that means lol) You are doing great momma. The fact you called 911 shows she’s your number one priority. She’s okay and you’re okay! Ain’t nothing but a thing!!

You are not a bad mom! I think every one of my kids have fallen off something and hit their head. Sometimes it doesn't really matter how much you try preventing it

Their first fall, you’ll never forget it. Mine still haunts me, but it happens all the time. Just wait until they’re toddlers, never ending bruises and bad falls. As long as they cry right after and have no symptoms out of the ordinary, vomiting , unconscious or excessive sleepiness, your baby is fine :) it happens! You did the right thing calling 911 and having her checked out. Never second guess yourself and trust your instincts. Also, make sure you are okay mama.
Post partum depression can show up as anxiety and not trusting yourself, so make sure you are taking care of yourself too!

It happens unfortunately… my son fell off the couch and I felt so bad. You just never know when they are going to learn how to “roll” or “crawl”. You are not a bad mom.

Normal grandad behaviour

Apologies for this post, I've never had grandparents and my child does - so I dont know whats normal.

I have a toddler (2), her grandad; tickles her (randomly in random situations), kisses her (requests if when saying bye), pats bum , hugs (requests it), and whispers to her (randomly)

Unsure if this is normal. Please note I am also freshly postpartum with postpartum anxiety and all this news about paedophilia is really getting me worried.

Today made a joke when she was eating ice cream "wide mouth, come inside".

When does it get easier

Baby is 10 weeks and although she is considered a good baby I still can't deal with the crying to get her to sleep at night and the constant battles of sleeping during the day. I'm getting at least 6 hours of broken sleep a night but I am broken 😅😅. I love the happy moments she is such fun but the bad moments are so bad they ruin the thought of the happy moments

Just need a rant

Feels like I'm living currently just to do everything to get her to sleep and my life revolves around figuring out how to get her to sleep next as no two times are the same

Which is more disgusting...

I know this is a weird one so hear me out.
Imagine you're out in public, what's worse? Smelling a strangers fart or smelling their burp?

There is something soooo disgusting about a burp with a smell that I just can't comprehend🤢

Refusing bottle

I need some advice, (HV are not help). I have a 4 month old (EBF)& let’s just say I’m exhausted & need to sleep or get my life back a bit but she will not take a bottle at all. I keep trying her with a bottle, she used to take it when she was 3 weeks old but then had oral thrush for 2 months & wasn’t feeding well on breast & completely refused bottle. Husband has tried, we’ve tried formula & breast milk, different bottles, different teats & still nothing! Help! Mama needs some sleep 😭
