My 1year old has not been sleeping well in her cot at night as we had her in our room until 10 months (my fault -1st baby and read too many books on what might happen If she rolled over and cot-death) ????and I have been up and down all night for two months with no help at all from OH so I am shattered, I put LO in spare bed with me at 4am and trapped her in with pillows the other side (I have done this before and when she moves I always wake up) apart from this morning 6am when I Heard a huge bang I jumped up to find my poor little girl flat on the wooden floor I picked her up straight away and checked her all over and found bump on head she cried for about two mins, Not wanting her to go back to sleep incase she had concussion I took her down stairs and put her down to Crawl to see if all limbs were ok ! I saw she wouldn't put weight on arm so took her to docs straight away , he said she was fine but a few hours later at home I knew she wasn't fine so I took her to hospital who x rayed her and turns out she has a greenstick fracture and has to wear a cast for three weeks !! I FEEL LIKE THE WORST MOTHER IN THE WORLD and my OH is doing a brilliant job of reminding me It's all my fault !!
????I have been so careful with everything safety wise in and out the house. I can't help thinking I'm her mummy I'm ment to protect and look after her ! I'm so angry with my self !
Has any ones baby fell out of the bed??????
I don't have many friends with babies to ask or anyone to talk to really.

I haven't stopped crying since we went to the hospital I keep looking at her and she is so happy and not even bothered by huge red cast on her arm and is still trying to run around!
????All that is running through my mind is will this affect her at all? Will she????
remember? Am I a bad mum! =(

What I do know is I will never take her in my bed again until she can get out and not roll out!????

Please someone reply As I'm driving myself mad!
=(

Hi, yes I hate to admit it but I have been there too. It was new years eve and DH had thought it a good idea that DD and I share our bed whilst he slept in the spare room. Complete change of mind when in the early hours we were woken by a loud thump of DD landing on the bedroom floor, DH screaming at me what was I playing at (um, sleeping) then asking me what she had hit during her fall (um, no idea, I was asleep). Luckily, our DD was just grazed and bruised with no broken bones but again we were both concerned about her falling asleep (its early and she's naturally tired but may also have concusion). DH was at work the following day so it fell to me to monitor her behaviour looking out for any out of character tiredness or not wanting to play. For what it's worth, DD is now 19mths old and still climbs onto our bed to bounce and play whilst I'm trying to make it, she'll fall down stairs but still try climbing them again 10minutes later, get fingers stuck in cupboards but go straight back to them once she's been cuddled for 2minutes. I guess what I'm trying to say is you'll recall it far longer than they will. Accidents will happen, your LO will recover from them, you'll be a bit more alert to the threat and move on. I'm now looking forward to the next couple of months when I'll have DD and a new addition to watch at the same time (you just know they'll be heading opposite directions and I'll need splitting in half to catch them both).

hi g/c just seen this on side bar.

stop feeling guilty now. you have not beaten or abused your child its just one of those accidents that everyone has but we don't like to admit too.

my eldest who is now 6 has some developmental problems and has had (and caused) several accidents.

when she was little i left her asleep on the sofa while i answered the door, she rolled off on to floor.

when my second was about 6 months old i left them in the living room together, baby in highchair and dd on floor (she was 2 at the time, but not walking) while i went upstairs for a wee! my eldest managed to pull herself up on highchair and topple it over into the fire (which was off) she cut all her ear open on fire and had to go and have skull x rays.

recently i left the stairgate open when i nipped upstairs, my eldest started to climb up (something she can't do without help) got about half way up and as i got to the stairs to stop her she fell backwards, and crashed into the front door at the bottom of stairs. she was brusied but fine.

you just learn from it. they were never left on the sofa or alone in a highchair and i always double check the stairgate!

she won't remember, she's too little, and she will be fine. you are not a bad mum, just human. accidents will always happen, and kids do bounce back

yes it also happened to me. dont feel guilty!
with my eldest (now 6) she went flying off our double bed whilst playing with me and hubby and she just went so quickly we couldnt catch her! she bagend her head on the side table on her way down and she screamed like mad but she was fine. i rang my mum hystericl and for her to tll me she will be fine and it happens, its an accident.
with lizzie, she was only 5 months so i didnt think she would be able to get out of high chair-i was wrong!! i left her in high chair (dd1 eating in same room) whilst i popped to kicthen. my foot wasnt even in the kitchen door and i heard a thud! lizzie had climbed over the top of her high chair and landed on the floor!! lizzie is also fine and still likes to try and climb out of it (we obv dont leave her unnattended anymore)
your little one will be fine and the cast will help her heal faster.and no i dont think she will remember it xx

My toddles was in our room until she was 11 months. Me and my siblings were in my parents room until we were 1. There's nothing wrong with that.toddles has fasllen off the bed once, and bruised her back as she was bouncing
