3mo fell from bed while sleeping ):

Hi everyone… it was around 5am when i heard a loud thud and woke up suddenly only to realise i was screaming as i knew that my 3mo had fallen from bed. She was sleeping with my husband and my husband was hugging her but they were at the corner of the bed… The reason why she sleeps with us is because she won’t sleep with on her own in her cot/bassinet. I feel really awful… checked for any bruises or anything but there was nothing… husband said she was on the floor body down but head was turned sideways… i feel like it’s my fault for not taking the extra precautions and i feel like a bad mother… Wanted to bring her to the doctors to see if there’s anything wrong but husband said to just observe… I’m so tired, scared and worried. Any advice would be great… #advicepls #firstbaby

I also feel so when my baby at 3 months know how to turn n she just fell infront of me from a distance and I didn't react fast enough cause I'm in shock. For my gal, I check for any external injuries first, then check for any crying from her, based on my mum its better to hear crying straight after the fall than in any other state. then monitor her activity and make sure she is not lethargic and still active, no vomiting and still taking milk normally. ever did mention to my pd abt the fall days later cause to see her diaper rash but pd doesn't seems to be much borther abt the fall and say its normal for baby to fall and as long as everything is normal still pee the correct amount and still eating well and active, will be okie. each baby fall is diff so not sure how you may want to handle. she fall again a couple of days later at my mum place again..you are not a bad mum totally understand your anxiousness and worried and my husband, same as yours ask me to monitor.

make sure to get all the sides covered incase he may fall, even mattress on the floor..my gal has been sleeping 360 going around the cot even till now going to be 1 yr old. my gal, she dun like to sleep in the cot and only likes our bed. when she is abt to sleep, we place her back to cot she will cry again. no choice can only put her back when she is in deep sleep.
