Yesterday my baby, nearly 1, fell from his high chair. I took him to a&e and they said he is fine but to just keep an eye on him. I honestly can’t shake this feeling away especially that I didn’t get to him quick enough. I feel like the worst mum in the world, I’m not eating, I’m not sleeping and constantly crying about the whole thing. My poor baby; he has a small bruise on his forehead and a bruise and a scratch on his knee. I’m absolutely devastated about the whole thing

Don't worry, your not a bad mom. I had a moment with my baby when she was around three weeks, I had just changed her on the floor as we had no mat to change her, picked her up and knelt up to put her back in her moses basket, this was the time she decided to throw a fit and jerk almost out my arms on the hard wood floor, got her before that could happen, I quickly put her in the basket and curled up and cried, I sat with her afterwards and had a good think of what happened and how to adjust so it didn't happen again because I was scared shitless, but it will happen and I learnt from work to take a step back go through it and make adjustments in the future. It's scary and your not a bad mom, accidents happen
