ROLLED OFF THE BED

This happen to anyone else? Yesterday I sat my six month old son on my bed (in the middle) and walked two feet away into my closet to grab an outfit for him. After thirty seconds of being in the closet I heard a thud and thought maybe it was just my hubby getting out of the shower.... but then came the piercing cry :( I looked at the bed and my baby was gone. I looked on the floor and he was laying on his back crying. I immediately picked him up and examined him then breastfed him to get him to calm down. I was so hysterical... I screamed for my husband and cried all night. He is okay and is acting normal with no sign of injuries (pediatrician is aware of the situation). I still just feel so awful and heartbroken. I know things happen but I still feel terrible. Watch your babies mama they grow up faster than we think and are capable of doing anything!

This happens to plenty of mothers don't feel bad especially since everything is okay with the baby I have 7 nephews and 1 niece and currently expecting what I find helpful is using your body pillow and surround the baby with it or regular pillows to prevent a baby or a prego from rolling

I know it happens and I know it gets worse when they start to walk and learn to run and all that stuff I'm not ready for :/ but its so scary! I've never felt so awful! I called my mom and she told me stories about myself and my siblings and that made me feel a little better.

They have to do it it's part of learning I every baby will have bad falls at some point in their life it's them learning special awareness x

So glad I am not the only one. I can't even describe how I felt when I saw him. I cry when he has to get shots!!! Its the worst feeling seeing your baby hurt. I'm just so thankful he is okay and I can now say no mother is perfect and mistakes will be made. I have definitely learned from this and know now I can no longer leave my little adventurer unattended.

You can tell your a really good concerned mother & love your baby, :)
I have a 4 year old son and a baby girl that Is 2 months, I went through some what a lot of falls with my son cause he is VERY active till this day, he was crawling by 6 months and walking by 8 months, had a 2 story home, he LOVED the stairs, I couldn't turn my back on him for 20 seconds cause he would be right back to te stairs, he fell down like 5 stairs at about 10 months & I was hysterical just like you, but he was fine, he also fell off the bed also at around 6 months too, there's no way to describe it, my heart just drops and I feel like a horrible mother, but as yu go along you realize their children,  it's gonna happen. And when they fall we need to be right there to pick them back up. :)
