He’s just fine mama! You are not a bad mom at all! It happens to all of us!!
They won’t learn if they don’t fall 🙈
You’re doing fine mama! Just monitor him. The amount of times they’ll fall and get back up 💪🏽
Every mama has this story. Don’t be so hard on yourself ❤️

My first baby rolled off the couch she was laying in one of those half circle pillows and she wasn't rolling at the time but apparently she started right then . I called the doctor and they said it's very common! A lot of parents have an incident like this. You're not a bad momma accidents happen.
I don’t care what anyone says, this happens to everyone. That mom guilt is hard to shake but I’m sure he’s fine!

100%!!!
Every mom feels horrible the first time this happens! But it does happen. Don’t be so hard on yourself ❤️
It happens as a mum of 4 trust me don’t feel bad as you said your baby is fine
I did the same thing and only turned around to grab the dummy too she cried for maybe 5 seconds then was fine x
My now 2 year old rolled off my bed when he was 4 months old! I turned to get a diaper and wipes and next thing I know he was on the floor screaming! I felt so horrible at the time, called his pediatrician and everything and they said its common for this accident. I still took him in to get checked! Turned out he’s was fine. Don’t be hard on yourself. It happens to everyone!
Hes a boy, get used to this stuff. Despite my best efforts my 4 yr old boy has gotten so many bumps and bruises. He literally fell while walking across the playground at school last year and I had to go get him and take him for stitches in his chin. Boys are crazy and its stressful but you'll get through it 🙂
It happens to the best of us!!! Don't be hard on yourself hun...
I have dropped 2 of 3 of my children and they are just fine
My wee one fall from half way up the stairs because her older brother didn’t close the gate but she’s fine and hasn’t put her off climbing lol xx
Happens to all of us 🤦♀️ xx

When my oldest was 3 or 4 weeks old I put her in the middle of a queen sized bed at my parents. She rolled off the bed! I didn’t know that could happen so young but it did. My parents just had a rug over concrete at the time. I felt so bad. The pediatrician said it’s ok babies practically bounce at that age.
It’s happened to both my kids as young babies, it’s an awful feeling but most of us have done the same and the kids are fine ❤️
When my son was 2 weeks he fell out of bed (4 foot tall bed) he was just fine
Sounds like you did everything right afterwards! Babies are incredibly resilient and this stuff happens. My daughter fell out of her swing when my husband was up with her one night. She cried, he cried, and he felt absolutely terrible, but she was just fine. I told him we just learn from it, because it happens all the time. She’s now 7 and I think he still feels bad, but she has injured herself much more seriously in the years since. You’re a great momma and handled the situation perfectly!
My mom dropped me on my head when I was a baby, right onto a concert floor. I promise you I’m perfectly fine, never had any health issues that could be remotely attributed to being dropped on my head. She laughs about it now, but I’m sure she was also terrified at the time!
You are fine he is fine i think every mom has done it and felt just like you do but no blood means no problem in my house lol
It happens girl just keep an eye on him
My mom dropped me from a standing up height when I was a newborn. I am fine tho. Hope your kiddo is alright! Accidents happen... maybe check him out with his pediatrician
I used to say this wouldn't ever happen to me, then my little one took a plunge off the couch while hubby had her and i napped. I'll never forget those cries for the rest of my life. Don't beat yourself up mama, it literally happens to everybody. it doesn't make you a bad mom or dad a bad dad, makes you human❤️ Babies bones are incredibly resilient and flexible, so as long as you can do range of motion and the baby seems unbothered (along with no bumps on head, vomiting, etc) you're good❤️
It happens! you did everything right afterwards ❤️❤️
Dude I think every mom here has dropped their baby or hit their head on something 😂 it happens, you are a great mom for worrying so much 😊
We all think this will never happen to us- and it does! More often than not. You are not a bad mom. Babies are incredible resilient & strong. You did everything correct post fall. You are not alone, I have been there and I remember it being super scary but he was and is still is just fine! Hope the responses you receive are reassuring for you.
I’d call the doctor & make sure that everything’s fine.. It happened to me too.. but after that I bought a carpet & never sat him anywhere else but on the carpet or on the floor in general.. trying eliminating any risks where I can..
Girl I am guilty too.
It happens to all of us!! I live far away from a hospital so I called 911 (totally did not need to!!) and I was so upset, when we were walking to the ambulance it was super snowy outside, the medics had to tell me to put on shoes 🤣 but babies are surprisingly tough!!

Don't beat yourself up too much it happens. My son was 7 months and 1 day he wasn't crawling the next day he was and he crawled right off the bed. I felt so bad but he was ok.
My daughter has rolled off the bed many times since she was a baby. She knew how to roll very young and she’s such a lovely toddler now! Don’t worry! It happens to the best of us and I know how much we would love to avoid them getting hurt, but it’s like a rite of passage for our kids to drive us up the wall!
I never dropped my daughter but at 3 months I had her on the couch next to me and my dog jumped on the couch on top of her. Scared me so bad. Hes like 55 lbs. Babies are resilient. Never feel bad for going to the doctor if it makes you feel better, but I believe your baby will be fine :)
Yep been there! 4 months fell off the sofa, 5 months off the bed and 6 months face plant off the bed (because I didn't learn the first time 🤦🏼♀️) I felt awful!!! The last one he had a massive bruise the size of the earth on his head that could be seen from space!!! Or so I thought lol he's 11 months now. Trying to walk and stand so falling over loads bashing his head, bum, arms you name it...and still I'm panicking but less so....I check on him all the time if he's had a fall but they are stronger than they look. And your not alone. I've been told there are going to many many more lol might invest in stocks of cotton wool 🤣
I’ve been there too! At a month old rolled off the couch, at 8 months rolled out of the bed and now he’s 3 does back flips off everything 🙄😂
Its ok my middle child fell off the kitchen table when she was 6 months out of her bouncy chair it happens
My daughter did the same and she’s a very smart and sweet five year old now :) baby will be fine!!
