My baby is falling down from the bed!!!!:-( email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. lulumartin (694)   ranked 178 out of 6,521 in mother4 months ago

Hello my friends,

My baby is about 5 months and 2 weeks old. This morning, my husband and i were so shocked and frightened because of our baby boy falling down from the bed. This was the first time, and i hope it would be the last time too!!

We did not know how he could fall down from the bed. He slept with us together in the same bed, it is a king sized bed. He slept between us. Both of us slept deeply, until we heard a "Bomp"!!! Our first thought was Timmy, our little boy!!! He fall down from the bed! This was a scary thought for me, but it did happen! My husband quickly jumped out of the bed, and hold him up, at that time, Timmy was already crying out loud!!! It must be painful for him!!! cry

He fall down from the end of the bed, that's why we still could not find out how he made this, i mean move to the end of the bed. sad I felt so bad and sad that he fall down. He is just a baby, i am afraid the knock on his head and body will damage his brain or his body. cry

It was indeed a scary experience for me, i just told my husband that we should let him sleep on his own and in his own bed.

Does anyone has experienced this?? What did you feel at that time and what did you do?

I have five kids and I think they have all fallen from the bed. w00t I remember the first time my son fell from the bed he was a baby too and I just about cried along with him. I thought for sure he had hurt himself because he was a baby but those little babies are so flexible. lol It's not like you mean for it to happen but it does. I never put any of our kids in a crib when they were little because I used to breastfeed them and it was just easier. I have had them fall of sofas rolling over as well. You have so much to go through because your baby is only 5 months wait till he starts to climb all over the place then he will really scare you. happy

I am glad that he didn't really hit himself on something but honestly how they get around the bed at night is amazing. happy I know for a while we would put our bed against the wall to try to avoid it from happening but kids are kids.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lulumartin (694)   ranked 178 out of 6,521 in mother  4 months ago

I am glad he is ok too, seems he did not get hurt from this. But we will still be careful from now on as our little boy is getting too active now, he likes to move himself around after waking up.

Ya, it's amazing how he could do that without our notice. Normally after he's turned around his body and start kicking his legs to make himself move, he will make the noise and that is what inform us we sould go to him. But this time, we did not hear any noice......or perhaps both of us were exhausted....that make us careless...

Well...i think now, when we are exhausted, it's better not co-sleeping with baby in the same bed. ninja

I haven't experienced such because I don't have any baby yet. Though I remember my mother telling me that I used to fall down from the bed,she felt the same way as you did,scared and cried with me. She said that she can't stand seeing me crying and in pain. She also said that I was such a crawly baby even when I'm sleeping. So what they did was bought a crib so I won't fall from the bed anymore.

I think all babies experience this for babies are so flexible,they will learn to rise as they fall. ALthough I know how parents feel when they see their baby on the floor and just fell out from the bed,it's excruciating to see your baby cryin in pain.We can't really avoid such incident to happen,all we can do is to prevent it from happening again like what my parents did to me.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lulumartin (694)   ranked 178 out of 6,521 in mother  4 months ago

Hi azaerus.

It was a scary experience for me and i really hope it will not happen again. We were anxious and worried when the baby was crying out loud. We were afraid it would be internal injuries inside his body. But for god's sake, until now, he is ok and no strange symtomps yet. Yeah, i think you are right. Babies are flexible, otherwise they will never learn to crawl or stand and walk. I think this happens during the process of their growth.

But of course, in parents' eyes, we do not want anything to hurt the baby. Yeah, i will try my best to prevent this happen even though it cannot be avoided.

Have a nice day!


myLot reputation of 96/100. Azaerus (301)   ranked 303 out of 6,521 in mother  4 months ago

I'm relieved to know that nothing serious happened to your baby. The way I see in your picture your baby looks very much healthy and your baby looks really really cute. Now I'm beginning to wonder how my baby would look like in the future. I hope my baby will be as cute as yours. You are very lucky with your child and same with your baby,very lucky to have a very caring and loving parents.

Have a nice day too!!:)

Hi, azaerus. Thanks for your nice words. happy

I remember the period of pregnancy, i always imagine how my baby will look like. Isn't it nice to daydream about this? lol I am happy that i have such cute and lovely baby.

I am sure you will have adorable baby too in the future. happy

Im sure it was just an accident, a horrible one for a mum i know, my daughter is 7 months old and she fell off the bed last week for the first time and boy did she scream. As others have said they will all experience knocks and bumps as they grow up s its nothing to worry about, of course unless he is seriously hurt but they are usually ok.

I had experienced things such as you. I wept and was very anxious to know my baby fell from bed. I feel very sorry for not protecting my child.

It is Indeed Annoying to See Your Little One Hurt .. Our First Child Had Fallen Down From The Bed Twice when He was Small, We Did Worry About It .. We Thought We Will Take Care of the second One Very Well .. But The Second One Also Fell A Couple Of times (just 1.5 years Old).. You Just Cannot help It .. Pray that everything Will Be Alright ..

I know how you must be feeling.
My son is 1.5 years of age and he fell from the bed three times.First time when he fell from the bed,he was just 4 months old.We were sleeping and in the middle of the night we heard a bang and a cry.We were fast asleep and we knew that our son had fell down.He cried aloud but by the grace of almighty he was alright.
Second time when he fell down he was 5 months old.I had arranged pillows on all corners and went to the kitchen to wash utensils and again he fell down by jumping off the pillow.
Third time he fell when he was one year old .Again he fell down from the bed when he was playing.
I have a homeopathic medicine which cures internal injuries with me whenever he falls down i give it to him.

It is horrible isn't it! At 5 months babies experiment with movement. You will notice their kicking in the air, trying to lift their butts in to air and such. They also try to try to turn on to their sides and bellies all a part of their learning process in mobility. These cause them to slide to one side and fall from the bed.

You can attempt to stop this by putting heavy pillows on both sides of the child. I say attempt because my son usually managed to push the pillow and take the dive right after it!

Alternately line the floor either side of the bed with cushions to soften the fall.


myLot reputation of 98/100. patgalca (6022)   ranked 213 out of 6,521 in mother  4 months ago

You are right that at five months the baby is beginning to experiment with movement (which is why he should be in his own bed). I don't know but I feel that restricting that movement by packing pillows around him is not right. Put him in his own bed where he has room to move around and still has the protection of the crib walls.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lulumartin (694)   ranked 178 out of 6,521 in mother  4 months ago

Exactly, my baby is currently in this stage. He is a very active boy. We always place the pillows around him when he sleeps in our bed during the day time. Just in case he wakes up and then we are not around him. But this time is we sleep together and i don't know how he made it. He moved himseld to the end of the bed, it's the only way to fall down from the bed as he was between us. We did not hear any sounds at all. doh From this lesson, we have to be more careful about this and place the bolster in the end of the bed when we sleep together.

As i said, my baby is very active. So letting him to play by himself in his own cot is not really good choice for him and us. He needs much more space to move around (and ours are king-size bed). Everytime, we place him to his playpen, we have to go to him very often. He cries every time when he reaches the barriers. Another reason is he likes to kicks his legs and make him move when he is lying on his back. And when he reach the barrier, the head always knock the barrier and he cries like hell...We are worried this will hurt his head too. sad

I am so sad to hear that.It reaind me that my brother hurt his head years ago as the same experience.It's obvious,there's a deep wound in my brother's forehead,~~~~~en,it's forever ...hurt.
Little baby always climb here and there no matter where,and i am afaid that you must buy a baby bed that it has barriers arround the bed.That's safe,when you sleep or far from the baby you also feel relieved. Happy mylot!!!

oh, my god! i believe your baby is fine now. i do not have such experience. It was an accident, so do not be too sad. i think maybe is better you let your baby sleep on the baby bed, instead of sleeping together with you and your hubby.


myLot reputation of 99/100. vingyan06 (1251)   ranked 798 out of 6,521 in mother  4 months ago

It was an accident. But make sure this does not happen again. Some thing we can do to prevent accident no2 to happen. I also think of a baby cot is the safety way for baby. They will not easy get out from the bed themselves no matter how they roll and roll on the cot.
