Toddler fell
My little boy 17 months fell from our bed last night in to a fluffy carpet, I couldn’t get there on time when he woke it happened within a sec and I found him lying on his tummy crying. He fell asleep after offering the breast and this morning he seems like himself no visible injuries. Our bed is a normal bed height. I’m just feeling so guilty. He didnt want to sleep in his cot so I kept him in bed like I do sometimes and feel so awful I didn’t do enough to protect him. Has this happened to anyone, thoughts and advice?

Happened to me when she was around 7 months. I just stepped two step aside and she followed me 🤦🏼♀️
No visible consequences so far. It's been five months since then.
A kid falling off a bed is a mom's right of passage. It happens to nearly everyone, eventually. A fall from that height is highly unlikely to cause any damage to a child that age. Keep an eye on him and if anything concerns you/doesn't seem right then reach out to your pediatrician. But 9/10 times everything is going to be just fine!
It happens to everyone, but to be on even more safer side check with your pediatrician is recommended.
It happened to us when I returned to work after having him, left him at home with my 18y.o daughter, Went to work for 2hrs, came home to her hysterical cos he had just fallen from her bed 5mins earlier, she was beside herself! Needless to say I took him everyday after that, lol especially while she was studying🤣 he was fine though, no harm done.
My baby fell at 6 months ! So 17 months is much better 😅 he's now 14 months and I've never known a baby bump or fall as much as he does. Maybe it's a boy thing. I undestand the guilt. I took him to a&e as he hit his head and I felt awful but he was absolutely fine
Time to train him how to get down safely! In the tummy, feed first :)
Happened to me when my baby was literally like 4 months old! You feel awful for it but it happens to us all x

Punching bag for baby
I knooowww she doesn’t mean to, but between pincer nips, kicks to my c-scar, digging her claw toes into me, headbuts etc… she’s constantly hurting me. Especially when I’m breastfeeding. I have scratches and bruises all over. She’s 5.5m old so she can’t understand she’s just playing/learning, but I can’t help feel resentment towards her, as if my body hasn’t given enough this past year. I’ve started dressing her in baby grows with the mittens over her fingers for a bit of a break, but she fusses and wants to be out of it understandably.
I’m overtired today, so feeling more grumpy than usual

Weird item in formula
Guys I found this in my daughter’s formula last night. She’s on Hipp comfort milk. Any ideas what it is?
I’ve put more photos in the comments.

Help and honest advice needed
I absolutely do not agree with the cry it out method. My partner believes in it and wants to use it for how our daughter sleeps and I think if she wants to sleep on the bed with us let her in the middle of the night at least. He doesn’t want her in the bed at all. I think it’s cruel and we gotten into big fights over it. What is everyone’s thoughts?

Taking cow's milk on a long-haul flight with a toddler advice?
Hey mums! I'm travelling soon with my daughter and wanted some advice on taking cow's milk on a long-haul flight. She usually has milk when she wakes up, before her midday nap and again before bed. I'm just wondering what's the best way to carry milk with me? How do you manage milk feeds when travelling with toddlers? x

Breast milk in travel
How do you carry freshly pumped breast milk for a day's travel? I found bottles to cool and warm formulas but not breast milk.
