Fall from bed

My son has fallen off the bed and is completely okay. It’s not a far drop either and I kept my eye on him to make sure he was acting normal. Don’t worry he’s okay and you and your husband are still good parents. Now that this happened it’s ok to let yourself have these feelings but instead of beating yourself up over it for a long time put that energy into safety precautions so it doesn’t happen again.

Girl my daughter fell out of the bed at 4months. I hadn’t slept all night I was sleep for about 20mins at 8am & I popped up immediately. I felt so so so bad after. She cried for a little bit but once we picked her up she was just fine & all smiley too! You’re not a bad mom at all it’s okay girl it happens 🫶🏽

Sorry but I don’t believe you’re to blame here. He should have woken you up more and ensured you had eyes on the baby or he should have taken the baby with him.

We rang doctors when this happened and they pretty much laughed and said baby’s are made for falls they are bouncy and resilient. Monitor but if nothing is different I wouldn’t be concerned

My kids have never fell off the bed but my son was dropped on his head at about 2-3m and he was absolutely fine, don’t stress these things happen x

My son fell off the bed at 11 months and I posted exactly the same thing on here. It's more common than you would think.. I felt horrible too and he didn't hurt himself thankfully. I've tried to always put him in his cot since then but not always successful specially when he's unwell. Don't stress too much, just keep an eye for 48 h or so xx

My son fell off the bed hit the office chair (his gaming chair) in our room before hitting a pile of clothes on the floor. He was barely a week old. My husband turned around to get a diaper and I was pumping...he just rolled off the bed. He cried but was fine. He has fallen off the bed many time after that...I was half asleep and making his formula during the night and he kicked himself off the bed into the floor again onto a pile of clothes. 2 times I left him on the bed to sleep he accidentally rolled off (he moves around when he sleeps). And just most recently he was playing with his Mimi and dropped off and got a big goose egg. We went to get it checked out and he was fine. It has since gone down in swelling and his bruises are gone!! Your baby will be fine. Yall give yourself a break. Accidents happen. Try not to let it happen often but your little guy is not gonna have developmental issues from a little fall off the bed, especially when he didn't cry or have any bruises. Y'all will be fine.

You didn't fail. This is just a right of parenthood- almost every kid falls off of something eventually. As long as baby is acting appropriately, there's usually nothing to worry about. Give the pediatrician a call, but they're going to tell you that it happens to most parents eventually and to watch and make sure that baby is acting appropriately. Babies are incredibly durable- it takes quite a bit to actually harm them. Wait until toddlerhood when they run head first into everything 😅

I feel like you are massively overthinking this. Neither of you failed your child, it was an accident and these things happen. You can still bedshare, just make sure if one of you gets up, the other one knows. Your baby will have many more bumps and falls as they get older, they tend to bounce back up pretty well! Stop being so hard on yourself! ☺️
