standing in crib!

She's 8 months and she's mastered it, but I'm freaking out about her falling down. She doesn't know how to exactly lie back down gracefully. What if she does it while we are sleeping? I'm a FTM and I'm freaking out

I wouldn't worry too much tbh. DS did this as well and it sorted itself in a week or two once he figured it out.

Have you lowered the crib mattress yet?

^^^ this. We are about to lower ours this weekend just because I'm paranoid about her falling forward out of it.

Yea we lowered it. She already fell and bumped her head once.

I've been there- at one point I joked about putting a helmet on my older daughter because she bumped her head so much! 

She figured it out and is just fine.

Spoiler alert--now that she's mobile, she's gonna fall. She'll bump her head. She'll get hurt. She'll cry. It'll be fine. 

Yes. She will figure it out. Deep breaths.
