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?
Oh mama he’s going to turn into one big bruise in just one short year. He’s still little now so it’s scary but don’t worry he is ok. If you’re still worried have the doc check. But mama, he’s only going to get stronger and faster from here so make sure you figure out somewhere he can’t fall out of. In 3 months he will be crawling so it’s on and poppin now.
It happens probably due to rolling my LO always rolls to the right side so I always sleep that side and my partner sleeps on the other or we put a bumper on the left and never had an issue with it except one time!
With co-sleeping it’s best to have mattress on the floor that’s what we do. My son actually rolled off in his sleep the other night, poor darling was so confused lol
@Melinda so i normally try to avoid co-sleeping but lately he wont go bck to sleep unless im holding him, but i think i found a system that works now. Thank you tho!
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
