  • Bah the boob does not cure all in this house. She doesn't want it unless she's hungry. There have been so many times that she's fussy and I'm like oh yes the boob will solve this! Nope...home girl makes me work for her happiness.

    Same here...I just tried to pick up lo to go for a walk and scratched the top of his head pretty good :( he screamed bloody murder for half an hour and would not accept the boob as an apology :(
  • I dropped my cell phone on LO's head while he was sleeping. Oops. Luckily I only got an angry eye.
  • @lovethatcolosun oh no! When I was a baby I choked on a penny :D glad he is ok!
  • Oh god I remember I dropped my phone on LO while I was feeding him when he was around 6 weeks. Hit him at the side of his eye and left a small purple bruise, I can imagine how much it must have hurt him as the phone was like double the size of his face, after he finally settled down I was panicking all night wether to get him checked out or not :(:(
  • This could possibly also go under DH rants, but really I'm the one who messed up here :( My husband filled up the dishwasher with dirty dishes yesterday morning before he left for work (definitely a rave!) but he didn't turn on the dishwasher (rant!).. He did tell me though before he left that there was room for a couple more things and that's why he didn't turn it on yet..but he woke me up from a deep sleep to tell me that so I didn't remember when I woke up later with LO that they were dirty. Soooo all day yesterday I thought the dishes were clean and used the dirty bottles and nipples to feed her with!! I even saw that there were a couple bottles with milk still on the inside so I didn't use those, I just thought they didn't rinse off well or something... I felt so stupid and horrible all evening once I realized my mistake..I still feel bad and will be watching her today to make sure it didn't make her sick..she seemed okay last night. Still.. Parent. Fail.
  • @ashleymc09 - awe...that is awful, but truly a mistake. Hope baby is ok - im sure she will go unscathed.
  • @kezdk Aww, you poor thing! How scary but so funny at the same time! You scared the poop right out of him!!!
  • I can laugh about it now and see the funny side, but I was on the brink of tears and just about hyperventilating over telling my husband and imagining myself in prison over hurting my boy - it was awful in the moment and funny in retrospect

    @kezdk - Don't feel bad, I lost my girl's pacifier one night in the process of putting her to bed and found it the next morning under her and zipped up inside her sleep sack, so she slept on top of it all night which had to be uncomfortable, poor thing... But she didn't complain so I guess she was fine! I've been more careful since then though haha.
  • ^^ oh yes I do!!!! Thanks for the reassurance  :x

    I stood up from the floor with LO in my arms and his top half fell back. I caught him but man babies are bendable. He went really far while I held his legs. He did that thing where he looked at me in silence for a few seconds and then just started bawling. Poor kid
    Seriously, they are getting so big and squirmy. I worry about my bad habit of holding LO with one arm while doing all sorts of stuff with the free hand - like one of these days he's just going to launch himself out of my grip.

    I've tripped a couple times while holding LO. Once I stepped in his bouncer, lost my footing but kept a hold on his legs - he ended up almost inverted before I could regain my balance. Thank goodness they are so tough.

  • Ugh, did the "loosened the car seat straps in the click connect stroller in the store, forgot to tighten them again for the ride home." No more loosening straps in the store.

  • @ChardeeMacDennis we have tried that a few times in his room without success. I may try a different location. Maybe make a fort or something. We'll keep working on it. He does do quiet time at school so I'm hoping it will transfer here. I think he's just protesting because we took his pacifier away last month. He was just using it for sleep, but it obviously was a crutch. Life will go on. I will get through this, hopefully without too many mental scars on DS. ;)

    A couple weeks ago I had LO in the stroller unbuckled all afternoon at a trade show (it wasn't far from home and I wanted to introduce him to my sales reps). I reminded myself so many times to buckle him up before we got in the car, but I still forgot. I didn't realize until we were on the highway home. I was terrified until I could pull over at the next exit and fix it. I will NEVER make that mistake again.
