Answer 1

She's probably OK, and STOP beating your self up(even though you never will). Babys fall all the time, you might want to get a bed rail so it doesn't happen again.

So you, know my oldest son fell out of his baby seat that was on the kitchen table. BOOM onto the kitchen floor. I wanted to die for what happened. But what really happened was nothing big. He's 14 now and he's fine.

Answer 2

I hate to say it, but it's not that uncommon. My husband was changing my daughter, then 4 mos, who rolled off the bed when he went to get diaper cream. She had a good bruise, but she was fine, and is a very bright 2-year old. I also dropped my sister on her head when I was 4 - she was a baby, about 6 mos, and I was just trying to be helpful. She's fine too. Sounds like she'll be fine. When she sleeps, try to nudge her every now and then to see if she wakes - check for concussions. Also, if she is playful and eating fine, she should be OK.

I know I stopped nursing in bed because it made me so sleepy, I was afraid I'd roll on top of my children. So I got a nice recliner, and nursed there sitting up. Or, put pilliows on the floor around the bed in the future.

Answer 3

i have woken up in the middle of the night to my 4 mth old daughters crying...she fell from my bed onto the floor. Shocked me to death and i was so worried...so i know how u feel. And believe me...this has happened to a lot of mums. Fortunately most to the time the baby is alright...maybe just a bump or 2. It doesnt mean u r not a good parent...so dont be too hard on urself. If they is no vomitting, her eyes can focus and she is just as active...she should be alright.

Answer 4

She should be fine. I was dropped from a kitchen table when I was a baby. Just monitor her a little more closely for a while and make sure that she is coherent. You know...can she follow your finger with her eyes...stuff like that. Most likely, she will be find just a bruise.

Answer 5

Make sure she is alert. Watch that her eyes moves when focus on something like a toy. If you do want her to sleep with you on the big bed push your bed up against a wall so that she is between you and the wall. Or push her cot up against your bed like we did.

Answer 6

look lady don't worry about your little bundle of joy. She will be okay. Both of my children whether it is my fault or my old ladys fault have fallen out of bed, fallen out of my arms in the recliner hitting head first on the laminate flooring in our living room. They are just fine. Needless to say I felt like a piece of moldy monkey **** when it happened. Welcome to parenthood. They only get to be more fun as they get older

Answer 7

don't hate yourself there is alot of us mothers who have had similar situations myself for one. if she did not cry for a long time and there is no major swelling and she otherwise seems okay you probably don't have to worry.kids bang their heads so often atthis age and they are so tough.my son is 13 months old and if i go to the doctor everytime he hits his head i will have to move myself into the hospital. otherwise if for any reason you think something may be wrong trust your mothers instinct and take her to a doctor. better safe than sorry.

Answer 8

I wouldnt propose you to try this back and you in all probability wont your guilt would desire to be sufficient. actual the affection on your toddler would desire to be sufficient get you a cushty chair on your room or contained in the infants room and breastfeed contained in the chair by no potential contained in the mattress at night the place your probabilities of falling to sleep are better.

Answer 9

Wake her up frequently. If she has trouble waking up and if anything seems out of the norm, take her to the doctor ASAP.

Answer 10

Keep watching her. If something else in a while doesn't seem normal, take her to the doctor!!
