Oddly enough these things happened at the same time but were different incidences.
DS fell asleep in my arms so I put him in his swing for a nap. Normally I buckle him in but I didn't want to wake him up so I didn't plus I was going to be in the kitchen where I can see the swing so I wasn't too worried.
I went into the pantry to get something and a can of tomato sauce fell on my toe. About two seconds later I hear a cry and I go to check on DS and he is on his belly on the floor. The second I pick him up he stops crying and has been acting completely fine.
He's playing on the floor and laughing right now so I think he's ok. My toe is bleeding, swollen, hurts like crazy and I can't move it.
So watch out for those swings ladies, I guess those safety buckles are there for a reason.
Re: Baby's first fall and Mommy has a broken toe :(
I've always buckled my kids in, even as newborns when I knew they would not fall out. Reason being habit. I knew if I didn't make a habit of it, I'd forget to do it when they are older. Now they are at the age where they would definitely fall out if not buckled. They twist and turn in the swing and if it weren't for the belt, they'd be on the floor.
I also buckle them into their bouncy seats which are only a few inches above the ground...a good example was 2 days ago. I had DS in his bouncy seat buckled in, he leaned forward (he can't sit up yet), and he would have fallen flat on his face if he wasn't be held back by the seatbelt.
Your boy sounds totally fine, babies fall all the time.
