I was really worried when my baby fell from the bed.

i fell asleep with my son on the couch one night when he was only a few weeks old,you know how it is,after the night feed you're exhausted and you only mean to rest your eyes for a few minutes,i fell asleep,the next thing i know he's on the floor screaming with a lump on his forehead,oh my god i felt so bad,,also with the same son when he was 3 months old,i laid him on the floor in the bathroom while i had a bath,not realising that he could roll over coz he'd never done it before,i heard a scream and he'd rolled onto the radiator pipe,the few seconds it took me to get out the bath and pick him up,has scarred his arm for life,the burn is about an inch square,my son is now 8 and thankfully can't remember any of it,,he'd probably disown me for bad parenting if he could remember

When my daughter first started walking she fell and hit her head. Instantly a big blue knot formed on her forehead. I freaked. I rushed her to the hospital. It turned out to be superficial, but it still scared me badly.

I know that its really scary encountering something like that. I have a 6 year old son and he was about 7 months, he also feel from bed. But it was not very much of a concern since he fall on a soft area. There was a pillow which cushioned his fall. By the way, one sign that you have to monitor when you suspect any head injury is vomiting. From what you have said, I presume there is none. Though you have to do something about the red mark if there is swelling. You can apply some cold application. Best to you and your baby.

My younger (who is 8 years younger to me) brother had a fall when he was small. There was a red mark on red but it got healed, we did not consult any doctor.

Hello jaz

I have had this same experience with my neice she was about 4 months old and I put her on my moms and dads bed to take a nap while a picked up the house and the next thing I know she is crying and a was so scarred. You are not a bad mother becouse your baby fell off the bed you are a really good mother seemings you called the hospital and stuff. The reason why your baby only cried for a minute is becouse they forget about things very easily. It is so hard whene it is your first child it will get easer. Even whene you have another one and they fall and get a red mark you will cry but you will also now they will be alright. All children will fall and get bumbs and bruses it is just the way things happen. Even if we the parents try to stop all the falling down. Happy parenting your little one. Just remember accidents happen and it is not your fault.

Happy Mylotting

I too have an bad experience when my baby fell from the bed.

I always take care very safely.
The incident happened when she was 8months old.
She took bath and came and i wiped her with towel applied powdre and drerssed also.
I dont within 5mins i left her in bed and felt asleep.
Suddenly loud crying voice came,at the second i got up.Haert beat raised a lot.Baby was not in the bed she was down.Dont know where she got hitted also.How she felt also i was not knowing.

That time i shouted like anything calling my mom.
Dont know how to control her.
Hearing my loud voice she got scared she bagan to cry more.

I was so panic.Felt so bad that i didnt take care of her properly and felt like dying not fit for anything.

i feeded her after 10mins suddenly she slept.
I was crying lying with her when she was sleeping.
I was happy when she got up with smiling.

Oh God cant even forget that day in my life.

Mine have never fallen off the bed but when my eldest was 5 months old I was carrying her and I fell over as I walked out the door she had a bump on her head and a big graze i never felt pain like it I actually came off a lot worse lost half the skin on my elbow sprained my ankle and cracked my elbow also from attempting to save her from hitting the floor but none of that compared to how much I hurt in my heart for hurting her. BUT accidents happen im partialy sighted and this contributed partly to the accident but it can happen to anyone and also babies tend to not be too badly hurt if they fall because they are unaware of what is happening so are very relaxed this helps prevent serious injury.
