bad mom moment

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

LO was waking every hour last night, after a few great nights of sleep. I went to put her in the crib at 2am and as her butt touched the mattress, she rolled off my arms, until she was on the mattress. She did not wake up or cry and she did not fall, but I called the nurse who told me to wake her up and observe her for the next 2h. She is fine, but I am not.

Our bedtime routine was disrupted yesterday because of the same stupid neighbors I complained about before and I feel so guilty and tired :((((((((

    Oh honey, if that's the worst that ever happens to your baby, you might just be the best momma ever. :)

    So far, Aria's hand a handful of accidents. First, she rolled over in the bathtub. We used to give her a bath in the big bathtub on a little ladybug bath sponge. She dropped the toy she was playing with and rolled right over. I snatched her right up, but it scared the living daylights out of me. She was fine, but I terrified her with my panicking. :) (I've now learned that babies automatically hold their breath if submerged. Still scary though. We switched to a bath chair!)

    Next, she was in one of those door hanger/jumpy things at my Mom's. Of course, my husband and dad were with her... and the main strap BROKE. She fell and landed on her knees, and then sort of toppled over. It scared her, but she was fine. (we will NEVER. EVER. use one of those again because I've never liked them.)

    Just this week, she was sitting on her changing pad looking at "the little baby friend in the mirror", and she leaned forward to "kiss" it. (she's been "kissing" us lately... basically she licks your face... but it's cute) She whacked her head on it before I could catch her, and I was standing right there. She just turned around and looked at me like, "Mommy, that baby has a hard head!"

    She's never got any bumps or bruises, and my doc told me to remember that babies are a lot more durable than we realize.

    Thank you, your answer made me feel better!

    Lol, then I am the worst mom ever. ;-) It sounds like your baby was totally fine, even if it is scary when that stuff happens! I was soooo careful with DD1, but the 1st time she rolled over was off my bed and onto the carpeted floor! She was fine, and I finally felt better after a reassuring phone call to the doc. I felt awful!

    This time I have a 3 year old who, while loving, can be pretty rough in her "hugs" to the baby. I've come to the conclusion that babies are pretty durable -- it's necessary to their survival! ;-) That said, of course it is important to be as careful as possible, but don't beat yourself up when these things happen, esp if LO is okay. Just learn from the moments and move on!
