I feel like the worst mother

Do not feel bad i myself know this feeling with having a dog it can be hard work at times to manage both of them and when your rushing in the morning to get dog sorted you often make mistakes dont beat yourself up it was an accident i am sure you are the best mam if anything it will make you just slow down a bit and if you did miss class or ended up being late its ok because youve took your time etc x

Oh please don’t worry! ❤️ You are an amazing mum. None of us are perfect and we are all trying to juggle a million things at once. Honestly my son has fallen off the bed multiple times. When I was younger as a baby, my mum accidentally trapped my finger in the car door. I don’t remember it and nor will they. You’re just doing your best and try and think of the 1000 good things you did today rather than the accident. And delete that footage from the camera to stop temptation of watching it back! X

Oh no! You should report this to the GP ASAP and have her checked to rule out any issues. There is no way you can tell if any concussion as she is so little to tell this! Sometimes we do things we never pay much attention to, that does not make us a bad parent so far we learn from it.👌 Delete the footage and get her checked asap please, then you will feel relieved!

Husband walked him in to a door frame …. Shit happens Baby’s mostly bounce

@Julia omg I did this when baby was just a few weeks old 🤦🏼 I was a mess apologising to her and my toddler thought I had lost the plot 😂 Also, are you even a mum, if you've never dropped your phone on your sleeping babies face? 😂 It's almost like these accidents are initiations 😂

Get your little one checked for peace of mind but don’t beat yourself up about it. On the first day of being at home with my first born (now 8) I answered the door with her in my arms and hit her head off the wall as I had no awareness of space. I remember crying and feeling terrible. Delete the footage, it’s going to do you no good. X

Don't feel bad. We have all let something like this happen. My and my partner both banged our sons head on the door frame of the car when putting him in. When he was getting used to sitting he toppled over and banged his head really hard on the floor of the changing room at the swimming baths 😭 I cried when this happened cos I felt so stupid. Why did I let this little baby sit up on his own and not put something soft around him??? He got a big bruise and the other mums there encouraged me to take him to A&E so I did - he was completely fine!

@Charlotte all the time …. Like I want to take his photo coz so cute but am I worried to many failed attempts will give him brain damage just a tiny bit His dad hit him on the door frame His uncle let him roll down the side of the sofa He’s rolled off pillow doing tummy toe and hit the floor Lifting him for a cuddle his feet catch the Bassinet The amount of times he’s been caught by hand nails and scratched is almost embarrassing I swear we are trying to be careful but life just happens And won’t be that long till he’s running in to tables doors people and just generally falling over being a kid

@Rebecca you did the right thing to check for peace of mind but these things happen 🤷‍♀️ they do worse to them selves as they get older Hubbys nose is wonky from crashing face first in to a car door trying to jump it on a skateboard under the e age of 10 and his elbow it still crunchy from a skateboard accident… in his 30s they don’t learn

I know some people are saying to delete the footage but I wouldn’t as it’s proof it wasn’t done on purpose. Especially when you take a LO to GP and hospitals with injuries they do tend to report it to social services if they feel there’s foul play.

My older I don’t know why because it’s never happened to with my youngest when he started walking numerous times while I was hoovering would stand behind me and get the shark to his face 🙄😂

@Julia yeah he's 3 now and is always covered in a scrape or a bruise! He fell backwards off a climbing frame a few weeks ago 🫩💖

I remember banging my sons head on the car door when I was putting him in his carseat after his first jabs. I felt so awful and just cried with him 😅 it's an accident but i totally understand how it can make you feel terrible!

My son has fallen off my bed twice, fallen out of my bed in the middle of the night once. Another time he was following me around just after he started walking. Lost balance and face planted the corner of the wall. Had a massive welt and bruise on his cheek. Not 5 minutes later squeezed himself between my bedside table and wall. Then he slipped and smacked his chin on my bedside table. Another time I was in the bath with him. He lost balance fall backwards and sat on my leg, then continued to fall forwards, face first into the edge of the bathtub. He’d just cut his two top teeth, so yep, blood everywhere. He’s almost 15m now and still going strong. Try not to worry yourself mamma.

I did the same thing when my little girl was a few weeks old and felt awful! It’s easily done, feel like it’s a bit of a design fault. I’d deffo take them to the gp if you’re concerned, and as someone else said, keep the footage just in case it’s reported to social services.

When my baby was 3 weeks old I was flustered and exhausted trying to leave the bedroom in the dark as he was starting to cry and I didn’t want to wake my husband up (the next day was his first day back in work). As someone else commented, you don’t have much spatial awareness yet at that point and I accidentally hit his head on the side of the door as I opened it. I was SO upset. I immediately started crying, took him downstairs and just nursed him and I just cried and cried. I ended up ringing 111 and taking him into A&E to get checked just in case as he was so little. That’s just something to consider if there is a bruise. Also, I’m not sure how old your baby is but if you’re seeing the HV then they will query any bruises as babies who are unable to move around yet cannot get bruises on their own. Honestly though, I still feel awful and embarrassed about it but you can see from the other comments that it’s very common! Try not to be so hard on yourself.

Delete the video and move on. We’ve all dropped something on the kids heads at some point. It certainly won’t the be the last time. I guarantee you will hit their head on the car door at least twice before they learn to get in the car seat themselves 😂 If there’s no swelling and baby seems fine I really wouldn’t worry about it

Our toddler just hit his head on the entertainment rough housing last night. Got a bump and bruise but was otherwise fine. My husband did get mad at me for some reason. Accidents happen
