wat should i do

around 5:15 am last night i wake up to my son crying on the floor. Im not sure how he got there but he was crying like he was terrified then it hits me he fell out of my n bf’s bed, so i quickly pick him up of the floor n starts comforting him once he stops crying he goes right back to sleep. Oncd he does tht i quickly go to my bestie google to see wat i should be looking for and i saw nothing on the back of his head and i didnt feel anything either so i just monitored him while he was asleep until he woke up for his 6am bottle during tht time i could do nothing but cry bc i let him fall off the bed in my sleep, ik its not my fault completely that he fell but i cant but feel like it is. Now hes being acting like his normal self, laughing giggling eating his fingers or whatever comes close to his face but idk if i should go to the er just to be safe or not

You could call the doctor and let them know but all of my kids have falling off the bed at least once and they’ve all been fine. If he’s playing and having fun and being normal, chances are he’s fine, but if you want a peace of mind , you can always call the on-call doctor just to see what they say

Fallen*

I wouldn't personally. But it's you're choice. How old? My LO fell off the bed twice when he was younger, I feel like most people do at some point🤷🏻‍♀️

My son fell off the couch, it’s a low couch luckily so it wasn’t much of a fall but I was petrified as he was crying, after 2 mins he calmed down and was back to himself again. I didn’t call the doctor or go to hospital he was absolutely fine, if they’re acting any differently or show bumps etc you’d know x

@Bethany he 4mnths

If you’re in the UK, I would ring 111. Just in case. His head won’t be fully developed yet to protect his skull like adults are. Please look into safe sleeping to prevent this from happening again. I have a next to me bed - unsure if they’d do them in America / anywhere else. Hope he’s okay either way 🫶🏻 luckily he won’t remember it!

I’d let the doc know, my son surprised me and army crawled off ours while I was throwing a dirty diaper away… less than 1 min. He’s 5 months but I felt so bad. We just have to take precautions and be more aware of the new possibilities as baby grows!

This happened to my son around 4 mths, I sold my bed frame the next day and put my mattress on the floor to prevent it from happening again! Hes still rolls off and backwards crawls of it but its a lot less of height so no harm can be done! I also took the cot out of the room and put his mattress next to mine so I at least can get my bed back with my partner. It’s working miracles so far and totally recommend floor beds!

If the bed that he fell off was double his height then take him to get checked out. Did he fall on to carpet or wooden floor?
