I need some honest opinions

I today am house sitting for a friend so am not in my usual environment but this morning I woke up in there bed and had my little girl in bed with me she’s 6 months old. Well I must have drifted off and within minutes I’ve heard a thud and my baby girl crying, she’d managed to roll off the bed which is only a very small shin height bed so it’s very low to the ground thank god! I picked her up and she immediately stopped crying and went straight back to her happy self! But I on the other hand burst into tears because I feel so bad but I just need to know, am I terrible mother for even letting it happen in the first place because I feel absolutely awful! Honest opinions please mums I needed to get it off my chest😢

Hello, if she is fine and happy then don't worry about it. Unfortunately happend to me from a changing table and she had a little bump but she was fine. As most moms says you will be surprised how often they going to fall especially when they going to start walk. You are not a bad mother x

@Karolína I’ve tried so hard to prevent it happening I just don’t know how I let myself fall back asleep and not realise that would happen! Glad I’m not the only one it’s happened too though! Thankyou xx

If you have that worry just buy a side bed rail so it's not possible for her to fall. I have it since she was baby because I co-sleep with her and it works wonderful. x

@Karolína I have one at home but I’m house sitting so I wasn’t in my bed xx

Bubba rolled off the sofa the other week we felt absolutely awful but he is fine but the guilt just consumes you, as long as your little one is okay and happy she will be absolutely fine please don't beat yourself up about it these things do happen they just randomly start rolling around out of nowhere! 😘😘 You're an amazing mumma, otherwise you wouldn't feel this way xx

@Emma just feel so awful knowing I could have stopped it from happening I’m just so glad she’s okay! I was crying and she was smiling back at me! Thankyou so much xx

I know it'll be hard not to feel awful but it's just one of those things! When my sister was little she could only roll in one direction for ages so when changing her my parents always put her on the mat so she'd just roll into the wall if she moved, one day they turned round to grab something and that was the day she finally found she could roll the other way 😂 but she was absolutely fine!

@Rachael oh noooo🙈lol! It’s always the worst times isn’t it literally have to have eyes in the back of your head with them!! Xx
