I pinched my baby

Cassondra09

and I cried longer and harder than he did! He was just in a diaper in his bouncer, I went to unclip the buckle and caught his little belly skin between the buckle and my thumb nail. He froze and then screamed! I whipped him out as fast as I could and just held him tight. He stopped crying and was his happy self within 15 seconds but I cried off and on for the next 15 minutes. I felt TERRIBLE!

Aww, don't worry, babies don't remember. He still loves his momma.

I threw the almost empty paper towel roll at DH the other day (since we were using them for spit rangs with the thrush) and he missed the catch and the paper towel popped Elliott in the face (he was on the floor in his bouncy) Same thing, he took a second then started screaming and DH scooped him up and felt awful.

I had this experience with nail clipping. I clipped a little bit of skin and she freaked for a few secondsd and then was ok. But I felt pretty bad - especially since it went red and scabbed over.

DH dropped his cell phone on Will a few days after we brought him home.  Will was in his bouncer and DH leaned over to kiss him and forgot his phone was in his shirt pocket.  It hit Will right on the forehead, he lived!

It happens.  I've done so many things like that.  Don't stress over it.

The other night DH rolled over in bed while I was holding James and accidentally elbowed him in the head.  Same as you - instant screaming.  Just popped him on the boob and he was instantly happy again.  No harm done!  DH says he felt like the worst person in the world though.

When C was in the nicu, DH accidentally bumped him head on the overhead thing when he picked him up and felt so bad.  He thought he was going to have brain damage

I accidentally caught the skin of DD's upper arm in the buckle of the bouncer.  /i couldn't figure out why she started screaming until I noticed the cut and red mark about an hour later when I changed her.  I felt god awful every time I saw the mark for the next couple days
