My son was about 5 months when he first fell off of my bed. He done it a couple times after that too. It happens when their trying to learn how to get down. Thankfully our bed is low to the floor.

I had my baby on the couch at 4 months old, we were watching "bob the builder" and that day is when he learned to roll over.......and right off the couch! I believe I cried 10 times more than he did!! It happens to the best of us and you learn from it and learn to anticipate accidents before they happen so that you can prevent them. I'm sorry that you only wanted stories to make you feel better and rude people have to make their mean-spirited comments. They either don't have children or are completely in denial that they think they have always been perfect parents. Maybe their kids haven't fallen off the bed, but I bet they've had a few bumps and bruises that could have been prevented. Don't listen to them, they are just the negative jerks who have to make a big huge stink out of everything.

Don't feel bad. She won't remember it, and as long as she didn't get hurt, it's all right.
My son is 8 months old, and so far he's only gone off the side one. He went over on his belly, feet first, though, so he actually landed on his feet and stayed standing. I saw it happening, and reached for him, but I only caught his arm in time to balance him. He thought it was hilarious! Now he heads for the edge everytime I set him down.
I know he'll fall over sooner or later, but my bed is only three matresses piled on top of each other, so I'm not too worried.
My niece is 11 months old now, and she's fallen off the bed several times. So far, they've been lucky and she's been more scared than hurt, and I think her mom finally clued in and stopped leaving her alone on the bed.
My cousin is 13 now, but when she was a small toddler, she fell off the couch and broker her arm.

Babies roll off the bed ALL THE TIME and you always feel like your heart is jumping out of your mouth! I babysat my 4 month cousin, and she rolled off the bed "thud!" and my aunt was not pleased - the second time, from my own incompetence, I figured she'd be ok if I left her on the furthest corner of the bed (near the wall) but she still managed to roll off but thank god she landed on a bean bag and no one ever knew (and she couldn't talk.)
For the record, she's 11 now and in good health!
I have also fallen down the stairs and down 5 flights of stairs in Marks and Spencer (aged one and I still have a few scars). Really tho don't feel bad - these kind of things HAVE to happen to complete your childhood!

It happen to my daughter a few times...she is 20 months and sleeps in my bed sometimes and she has fallen off the bed before. My bad is low to the ground so it wasn't a far drop but enough to wake her up crying

my baby fell off the bed at my MIL's house while she was sitting. She didn't realize the baby could roll off. She was probably 3 or 4 months. She was fine but I insisted that she not sleep on the bed again.

my 6 year old fell off the bed at 3 months. She is fine. My 4 year old fell off the bed at 4 months and rolled under the bed. She is still accident prone to this day. I swear she can trip over her own two feet. On a DAILY basis I hear the sentence "I fine!!" after a huge THUMP!!! still feel bad??

i've experienced this on 5 occasions.the worst time i think is when they start to turn themselves over,one minute they're laying in one position,the next they're gone.
i must admit it does make you feel really bad,that your an unfit mother because you weren't keeping a proper eye on your baby,you wonder what people will say when you tell them,especially if they've got a bump or bruise.it sounds nasty (i don't intend it to be),but that's life of a baby,it's their way of learning.you can wrap them up in cotton wool,but they won't learn it doesn't make you a bad parent coz your baby fell,it's saying "watch out for next time,it'll be spectacular"
it doesn't matter what i or any body else says,it's how you cope with your feelings,as long as you say to yourself it's one of those things being a parent,you'll cope better next time and the guilt won't feel so bad.

Don't worry. You're not a bad mother. There are probably very few people out there who haven't had the baby roll off the bed, dropped it, or bumped it while carryng it at some point. They just won't admit it !
