Baby falling

Thank you so much I really appreciate that 🩵 it’s so hard when it’s the first time something like this happens
It truly is, but don't be so hard on yourself. Sounds like you're doing an amazing job and being a perfect mummy 😊
We've all had this happen, you aren't a bad mum. My August baby hasn't fallen yet but my son did a few times. It will just make you more careful but the main thing is that your baby is ok
My first baby fell off a sofa at 5 months I didn't realise she could roll. My 2nd bumped her head on the coffee table the other day by rolling into it. It happens to everyone at some point x
Mine fell off the changing table and I had the exact same feelings as you but was reassured by seeing how my son bounced back so quickly. I was mindful of signs of concussion and took him to a&e and all was well. I got the sense from the drs that this happens a lot! For me the guilt feeling passed over a few weeks- and it was a lesson to us not to leave him alone on there, even for a second to get a toy!
Please don't worry, you aren't alone. For those whose babies haven't had a fall, they likely will soon. It's just what happens when they start moving. Whether it's off a bed, a sofa or falling whilst sitting/standing/walking and hitting the floor, a table or anything! The fact you are so concerned, worried and consumed with guilt shows you are a fantastic loving mum. As long as they are fine, laughing, smiling, not being sick and not extra sleepy then they are fine. As my sister tells me, babies are a little bit bouncy. Please try and tell yourself you and your baby are fine. Sending you some cuddles of hope that you can forget 💜
