Big fall

My daughter fell down the basement steps (15ish steps) while I was gone and dad was supposed to be watching her. I was very upset to learn about it 3 hours later when I got home. Has anyone else dealt with there baby falling down steps? Side note she’s okay only has a scratch on her back and we did take her to the ER to make sure. Still upset with dad. Hoping he learned his lesson and pays more attention next time.

Oh, I'd have absolutely lost it. 😭 I would use this time to go over everything in the house for baby proofing. And discussing how incidents like this need to be handled, such as notifying each other immediately, as well as going to the ER immediately after a situation like that. Something very serious could have happened, and waiting over 3hrs after a fall like that is wild. I'm so, so glad she is okay!

@Ashley thank you! Yeah I was not happy he didn’t tell me ! I plan to do more baby proofing. One of our other kids left the baby gate open on accident. So we had things in place to prevent this but they failed I guess. Definitely adding more!

He needs to tell you immediately because you need to be able to have the information to be able to keep your daughter safe. My daughter fell down a two or three steps a few months ago and I immediately interrupted my husband’s work meeting and told him what happened, how baby reacted, we inspected her together and we were able to make a decision on what to do.
