How would you react - a bit annoyed at my partner

How would you react - a bit annoyed at my partner

Our LO is just over 2 years old.

Sadly I wasn’t in the room and my partner was in the room and he didn’t see what happened. I’m so annoyed at that. It’s bad enough our toddler fell off the sofa but I’m so annoyed he wasn’t watching to see what happened 😣

Apparently the Toddler was on the sofa and fell off 😔

I heard the impact of the fall from the bedroom and a cry straight after from what I could tell

Toddler was acting normal then and now but when discovered toddler was face up on the floor crying But clutching cheek from inside mouth. At first I thought toddler may have had a self inflicted bite.

This is what their face looks like today.

So all in all toddler seems fine. Although the whole situation is still giving me anxiety.

I mean, one thing that's really, annoying me is the fact that my partner was like so relaxed and was like oh it will be fine, there will be more knocks and worse. But it just pissed me off because I was thinking how does this not worry you?

I just feel like I was so much more worried about this than my partner was/is.

My partner is just so laid back about it. It's just me doing the research, checking, worrying, and wondering if toddler is okay. Partner was just watching football.

Like am I unreasonable?

It is scary to see your child hurt and hear that cry.
But I have not met a Toddler that has not fallen off the couch at some point. They have no fear yet so they don't understand why you tell them no.
Make sure you have soft rug under couch for future falls.

You’re valid for feeling the way you are.

These things will happen! I was sitting here the other day and my little girl went backwards off the sofa and done a full flip and ended up face down on the floor (which was the best outcome than going onto her head)

I have a lot of a more relaxed approach to when something happens compared to her dad actually, his always like no no, but as above, they don’t really understand consequences so it’s just about mitigating them and unfortunately them learning!

Got these for my little one

I brought these for my one year old to get her off the bottles she was on

I did a lot of research on them, and a few people recommended them for her age

Just wanted to see what mums thought on here about them before I start using them

cleaning

has anyone got any good products to use when cleaning an infant car seat?

Burning candles?

I know we shouldn’t because it’s not good for adults but especially babies but I miss burning a candle in the evening and we have a rented house that smells musty no matter how much we deep clean everything and air out the house for hours everyday. Does anyone burn a soy candle downstairs in the evening with windows being open whilst baby is upstairs asleep or do you think it’s too much of a risk? Any advice /opinions would be greatly appreciated (my baby is 9 months btw)

Baths

When do you start to bath your baby everyday? Mine is 7 weeks old

Agitated when breastfeeding

My 5 week old son is breastfed and expressed milk fed via bottle and normal is content on the breast but today out of nowhere he is really agitated and screams as if he isn’t getting any milk but I use a nipple shield and can see the milk is there. Any advice? I don’t want to have to give up breastfeeding 😢

Antibiotic effect on breastmilk

I have been taking amoxicillin for a week now and my EBF baby has seemed to be coincidentally having GI issues? Larger spit ups, visibly and audibly uncomfortable, straining to poop/pas gas, lots of mucous in stool etc etc. he’s happy but also very uncomfortable. Anyone else have this issue?? Yesterday was my last day so I’m hoping he feels better soon. I feel so bad 😢
