    I spill food on LO like a lot of fellow moms on here but my biggest fail (to date) is that I can't find LOs baby book! My mom bought me a beautiful one and I put LOs baby bracelets in it and wrote his birth story in it. We moved when he was only 2 weeks old and I was looking for the book to write about his first 2 months in there and I can't find it anywhere! All of the boxes are pretty much unpacked and I don't think it's in any of the boxes at my in laws house so I have no clue where it is! It's very upsetting to think that I might have lost such an important thing :((
  • I probably scarred one of my twins from the bouncy seat. Today as I was putting her in it, I caught some of her skin (the super sensitive part on your upper arm) in the seat clip. She screamed bloody murder like when she got her first round of shots. Only took off a little skin, but I felt terrible!

    Oooh I did this to my poor baby's little leg in the bouncer on Saturday night. I felt so bad! Poor baby :(

  • I'm so new to this, it didn't even occur to me to save her hospital bracelets. Now I'm all upset about it!

    I'm right there with you. We threw ours away, and I'm also upset about it now. Never occurred to me to save it!
  • Ugh I've done the not buckled car seat a few times too! Found his head slumped over when I realized but he was fast asleep and seemed just fine. I was trying not to buckle him in until it's go time but then end up forgetting, so now I just buckle him right away to save forgetting. Blanket tip sounds helpful, might try that.

  • Went to do LOs first dip in a wading pool today with DH. I lecture him all-knowingly about being careful because swim diapers catch poop but not pee. He carries her outside. He gets the camera, I pick her up and place her in my lap, and she pisses all over me. Fun. Just continued on and got those damn photos!
  • i didnt do this one, DH did. the first time he was bathing LO with him, he managed to dip LOs face in the water while holding him face down, didnt even realize it happened, all of a sudden the poor kid was just coughing
  • I was taking out the trash and one of my babes was screaming bloody murder so I picked her up to take her outside and BAM crack her head on the door! Didn't think that cry could get any worse! This thread makes me feel better about my fails and that we can laugh about them later.
  • LO was wriggling around while DH was giving him a bath last night and managed to stick his face under water. It was only for a second but he gave himself a fright and started screaming like mad. Poor DH felt absolutely horrible about it. I think half the problem was that LO was hungry too so once I'd mostly calmed him down with a cuddle I fed him and he went straight to sleep- by that time DH had popped out to pick us up some food so I had to text him pictures of LO asleep to reassure him.
  • I am the worst mom!! I was putting a toy together this morning with LO on my lap and tried to snap 2 pieces together and it came back and hit her on the forehead SO hard!!! She screamed and screamed and I feel so awful! I was bawling!

    She'll probably get a huge knot on her head. I just hope nothing is really wrong.
  • I got the tip of his finger with the nail clippers today...I felt like it bled forever and he screamed the saddest cries I have ever heard...it broke my heart and I felt like a monster. Doctors visit in the AM...hope they don't think I'm abusing my baby
  • I bonked LO's head on the door frame. I felt so bad. She only cried until I stuck a boob in her mouth.
  • @dancegurl1118 I've done that with LO AND with DD which is really bad!
  • This thread is making me feel so better!! Ah..I'm not the only one that's driven with LO not strapped in car seat, clipped his skin and made him bleed while cutting fingernails, bonked his head on door frame while running after DS1, unintentionally let DS1 close enough to LO to bite him and leave a mark...hmmm what else? I'm sure there's more! Ugh.
  • I was just putting LO down and I had zipped him into his sleep sack and when I pulled my hand out from under him I caught the back of his head with my engagement ring and scratched him so bad. I feel awful.
  • ^^ I picked a super jagged edge onto my only long fingernail and scratched the heck out of LO as I was drying him from his bath this evening

  • It was raining today when I was getting out of the car to go have lunch with a friend. I thought I was being all prepared by making sure I brought the all-weather cover for the car seat. I finagled it onto the car seat to cover her up after we parked. Then got out of the car with her in the car seat to hear her let out a little cry. I look down and realized I forgot to pull out the portion of the cover to block rain. Only the netting was on so she was getting her first experience of rain. I was able to pull the rain guard over her all while my friend was trying to keep an umbrella over all of us.
  • The almighty boob. Yes. ^^^^^
