Fall from couch

I’m a first time mom so please don’t be harsh. I’ve been crying since it happened 30 minutes ago. I feel stupid. I had my baby girl doing tummy time on the couch, I was right next to her and holding her, I don’t know why I even took my eyes off her, I basically just turned the other side of the couch to grab her sleep sack because I was about to put her to sleep. So I just turned my body for a milli second and bam, she falls.. :/ she fell and I could see she like braced the fall, basically had her arms up, but fell on plank flooring head tummy first. In that second I grabbed her so fast and I cried then she cried loud, for maybe less than a minute. I was crying a lot more. I called her dad and she calmed down and she acted normal. Tracked him and was acting herself. I told him I had to go to the ER but he said she was acting normal. After I just cried and held her and went to the mirror cause she loves looking at herself. She looked and just seemed sad but then I sang to her and she started smiling at herself and at me then she always squeals or yells when I sing to her and fakes laugh. She learned to fake laugh from my mom lol. This made me feel better but still so scary.. it was already her nap time so I put her to nap. She has a thump on her forehead going towards her left side scalp. Didn’t really seem to bother her. She is now taking a nap so her ped just told me to make sure she does not throw up and is acting normal and not hard to wake.. just feel awful. She’s 8 months but almost 7 weeks adjusted 😩

Feeling paranoid 🤯

My brother was playing with my 9 month d and was just throwing him in the air… Im paranoid that he will get brain damage or something as I googled it and it said you shouldn’t throw them in the air. It wasn’t done roughly. He was just playing with him 😩🥺

Is there TMI on here or am I just too sensitive?

I see a lot of posts about abuse, neglect, and honestly medical emergencies on here. One reason I stray from social media is because the lack of discernment of people.

Therapy is what some of these posts need to be directed towards. Calling the cops on a handful of others. I know we are hormonal and what not. But if you don’t want honest opinions and bluntness along with the more gentle moms of comfort. Is it too much to ask, “Should I post this? Do I really want a strangers opinion on this matter?”

And I could be wrong and that’s okay too.

Crying

Does anyone else’s baby just cry allll the time. I feel like the only time my baby doesn’t cry is when they’re asleep! She does have reflux but is on medication for this but I just feel like unless I hold her all day she just cries it’s so exhausting

Does anyone have a fully pitch black room for you/kids to sleep in? Does it help with sleep or eye tiredness?

So many gaps in our black out curtains or blinds means when its summer its never totally dark n at night there is some street light coming thru

Did a fully pitch black room help you or your kids with sleep?

Feeding

My little one is 8 weeks old and I’ve noticed she doesn’t wake up for feeds during the night now. She can go 7-8 hours without waking up, is that normal? I’ve tried to wake her up in btw to give her for a feed as I get worried she’s not drinking enough. She will sometimes take to it.

Transitioning to 1 nap - too early?

My daughter had her 9-12month review yesterday. She's doing amazingly well and progressing with flying colours! The health visitor mentioned dropping down to 1 nap a day. Isn't that a little bit early? My daughter does struggle to go to sleep in the evening, I usually cap her afternoon nap to 4pm and then she goes to bed at 8, sometimes it takes about an hour to get her down but I've been putting that down to development and basically wanting to be awake to explore.
I'm confused as to what I should do now. I think the health visitor is a little early on this, but maybe I'm wrong?
