Face Plant Stories

My sweet 13 month old had a really sad face plant today. Her little gums have been bloody and it looks like her little nose is starting to bruise. A fun trip to the Science Museum turned out to be a sad ride home. While climbing on some mats, my little one decided to walk right off of a slighty elevated mat. One foot may have hit the floor before her sweet little face caught the rest of the blow. Talk about feeling terrible as a mama! I was right there. It just happened too quickly for me to catch her.

It's been a rough day here. She's a trooper. The doctor was called right away, and we are keeping a close eye on it. I just thought it could be helpful to hear stories from other mamas. :)

    About a month ago H was watching T in the living room, and I went out to the garage to grab something out of my car. Apparently he wasn't watching her very closely and I hadn't shut the door all the way. I turned around to find her stepping off the small step into the garage and wasn't fast enough to catch her, she fell and faceplanted and bloodied her nose. MOTY.

    lainikins Thanks!! It is so scary and hard to watch them get hurt!  Definitely not fun!
    stephaniefine So sorry you went through that too, but YES... I am definitely hoping that this helps to instill a healthy sense of fear.  My little babe is so adventurous.  A little dose of natural consequences could be helpful!
    RTaylor12  So feel you on MOTY!                 
    jfresh  I definitely need to just avoid GOOGLE when this stuff happens.  Makes a mama worry too much!! :)

    Chloe just face planted on the stairs Sunday.  She has a nice goose egg and red/purplish bruise to show for it between her eyes on her forehead.  Poor thing.  I told daddy to help her learn to climb the stairs since we have them and I would rather her know how than to fall.  Well, I guess her first attempt was not so successful.  She barley cried and just got back up and tried again.  Silly girl!  I can honestly say that she has hit her head pretty hard a few times, but every time, she seems fine.

    OMG my kid face plants quite often. She is generally sprouting 1 or 2 bruises on her forehead. Poor thing. It's part of learning to walk.
