Baby fell off bed

Hi my bd was sleeping with our baby and she fell off the bed and has a huge lump on her head went and got a ct scan everything came back fine but I’m so stressed to go to sleep especially if she has a concussion we won’t know. The father didn’t even go to the hospital or reply to my texts about her didn’t even check on her when we got home just was sleeping. Any advice on helping my little and to not stress so much ? And how to dump a deadbeat thank in advance mamas💕💕💕

Oh nooo ! I don’t wish this for any baby b but Maybe apply an ice pack ? And put baby relax music ? Get some rest your baby will be fine 🙏maybe u can get get up every little while to check on her 💓wishing a best fast recovery on your babygirl

@Brianna she’s out I kept her up for 4 hours 😭😭 with the hospital and making sure to stayed up she’s 6 months and it’s right on her forehead I feel so bad like I failed her 😭like I have a whole bed set up just for her and a pile of pillows and blankets on the floor just in case and he doesn’t care to do the same it sucks so much

1. It’s not protocol to keep them up even with a concussion. Wake her up just a bit every 2 hours. 2. This shit happens to *every* child. And I mean EVERY child. I fell off the bed, my sister fell off the bed. Each of my brothers fell off the bed. One of my family members, I think it was my uncle, fell and dropped my dad. Each of my kids fell off the bed or couch (I am only a biological mom of 1). It usually only happens once, but it happens to EVERY child. Even if mom and dad think it never happened, I guarantee a family member had it happen while watching their kid. 3. While it’s *possible* to sustain a major injury, it’s exceedingly unlikely. My baby fell on the tile floor. (Her dad left her sleeping on the bed while I was asleep and forgot to wake me to let me know he was getting up, I heard a loud SLAP, and yelled at him for leaving her unattended while I was asleep it was like 5am and reasonable for us all to be asleep. He got up to pee and smoke and thought she was far enough

Well the good thing is the scans came out good ! Just put an ice pack keep an eye on her that she’s breathing good ! And oh no so sorry for he stay with you if yes talk to him or if he doesn’t report it ! It’s for the safety of the baby , my baby is 6 months too I put her by the wall I sleep in the middle especially bcs she rolling over already she switches her positions when she’s asleep put pillow in the other side of her

If you think hes a danger to your child he has no buisness being around you or your baby. So pls gtf away from him sooner rather than later. My child feel off the bed too and since you went to the hospital and they said everything is fine i think shell be okay just be gentle and mindful of that possibility of falling of the bed could happen again. Even if you dont think they'll fall off they definitely might, thats what happened to me. Sorry about your baby I'm sure she will be okay. My boys 6 now and hes doing fine

And u didn’t fail her ! Your the best mom to her , accidents happen could’ve been worse 🙏so don’t over think it the scans came out good everything is good put pillow in the other side or move your bed to the wall and have her sleep in the wall , and don’t worry about him if he won’t wanna do his part then sorry u gotta leave mama I don’t want it to get worse or something worse happens bcs he don’t care

Part 2: in the bed, but she some how scootched around the pillow meant as a barrier.) she had a bump, but was fine. 4. Unless there’s clear disorientation with pain AND vomiting, there’s no real reason to worry. 5. You already got her checked out. Let her sleep, and you sleep too. If there was reason for concern, you can bet your fanny you wouldn’t have been *allowed* to leave the hospital. They would have had CPS intervene if they told you not to leave and you did, because it’s a head injury. 6. If the hospital thought you were a poor parent, they would have had a hospital staff case worker speak to you 7. Parenting is hard, and you have to give yourself grace. And you have to give him grace too. Yall will make a lot of mistakes. Be forgiving, try to see the other persons side of the story. Obviously use your best judgement, but don’t vilify eachother over mistakes that are *learned* from. If yall keep making the same mistakes, it’s reasonable for the other person to get upset.

Part 3: 8: is it possible he’s depressed? Men can experience depression and anxiety after his partner gives birth and he may not have the tools to even understand what he’s feeling. Some were not given the knowledge to parent. You sound young, and I really want you to think about things before you go breaking up with the father of your child. Does he need to be accountable, present, responsible, and good for the child? Yes, absolutely. But there’s a lot of missing context here. In what ways is he a “dead beat” (I hate that term, it should be used for only very *specific* types of fathers, aka sperm donors who do not see their children, do not partake or add to their children’s lives, refuse to better themselves and are hateful to women.) does he work? Does he care for the child? Is he sleeping a lot?

9: this is the most important part about the BD: everything I said in 8 goes out the window if he has laid hands on you, is emotionally/mentally/psychologically abusive, or has SAd you or any children. If he has done any of those things, you are to call the domestic abuse hotline and create a plan with them to get out of there. If he lives with you, you’ll need to explain the circumstances. Getting a PFA is your best route for keeping your place if it’s solely in your name. 10. The most important thing of all, please be gentle on yourself. If you are overwhelmed and she won’t stop crying, put her in the crib, close the door, and walk outside for 10 minutes. The baby is safe in the crib. (This goes for dad too, remember point 8, if dad is overwhelmed, the same goes for him) I say this only as a reminder because you’re both in a very delicate part of life. You’re not alone. And if 9 isn’t what’s happening and If these situations don’t apply, please do not take offense. I’m not accusing

yikes, that sounds super stressful, but it's good to hear the CT scan was fine! just keep an eye on her for any weird symptoms and maybe try some calming activities to help you chill out a bit, and as for the deadbeat, you deserve way better, girl! 💕 Just looked it up on the 'Heal Baby Care App' and here’s what it says: "I'm so sorry to hear about your stressful situation; it’s completely understandable to feel overwhelmed. Since the CT scan came back fine, keep a close eye on your baby for any signs of concussion, such as excessive sleepiness, vomiting, or irritability. You can help her by ensuring she gets plenty of rest and comfort, and creating a calm environment.
