Checked around her head, didn't find any bump. She cried for a minute after we picked her up, then she started to act normal again. But I am still worry and don't know if some other symptom will appear later. That's why I googled "baby fell off the bed." I will take your advise for observation and talk to my doctor as well.

The advice we were given, as was the same one that was given to my brother when his daughter (my niece) fell: Just watch them over a 24 hour period, for any signs of unusualness. Waiting to see if they are nauseas I guess would already be too late! But that's the general advice. My niece is now going to Uni already, so I guess things are ok! Thanks for dropping by, hope to see you again! Hi Lasha,

I'm absolutely ashamed and can't believe it happened despite the fact that I promised us it would never happen again. She loves to come on my bed in the morning and is always reaching for a yellow bag hanging by the rail. This time, I was right there, pulling the blinds and thought, 'i'll just pull the blinds - takes a second' and then, THUD! this time, she landed on her head!!! She cried and cried while I was holding down and then calmed down. I rubbed all over her head just to check and she started laughing cos she's ticklish around her ears. She was playing within 5 minutes but I can't stop thinking about it and praying to God to forgive me for being so careless and to keep her well! I've been worried sick cos I'm at work and she's with her nan and that's why I'm googling 'baby fall from bed'! She does seem fine, but it's happened too many times. Her twin sister has never fallen off the bed. She's not as nosey! This will never ever happen again. I promise. This time will be the last. Lasha My 9mo girl fell off the bed for the 3rd time today!

Our boy was sleeping on the bed and as usual we had a fortress of big pillows around him. We heard him cry and thought he had woken up...when my wife went to the room, our boy was on the floor on his stomach next to a pillow...took sometime to calm him down. When he was calm i checked him for any bumps or bruises...there was none except red marks on his nose and upper lip. My wife was absolutely beating herself up over it and wanted to bring him to hospital...i prefer to observe him first. After an hour or so...he was his usual self. Looking back at it, the pillow must have broken his fall but his face still hit the floor, thus causing the red marks on his nose. I've learnt that accidents happens, no matter how protective you are. My 9 months old fell off the bed onto a tiled floor.

We were in and out of the house trying to pack the van for a long weekend/road trip. There was an evergreen on the lawn near the wall and one of the branches put him off balance enough to push him off the wall onto the rough stone steps below. He had an egg on his forehead for quite a while. I was petrified of letting him sleep (it was nap time and of course being in the van puts him to sleep faster than anything). I still think of all the shoulda'/coulda'/woulda's and wish I could have a do-over. Long story short, it happens to the best of us.

I have since learnt never to ttake tings for granted. But I have also learnt that kids are alot more resilient that we think them to be! I am glad he is alright and that you are alright too!

While her's was a lot more dramatic, involving a forward slow-motion somersault from a higher bed, crashing into a drawer chest, the flooring of that room was still carpet, softening her landing (actually the chest broke her somersault!).. then again, that fall could also have easily snapped her neck.... But it doesn't make it any easier to swallow, nor should there be any excuse on anyone's part. We failed to ensure Caleb's own safety. Period. Sigh... Last night at Grandma's, after telling her of the weekend incident, they "experimented" with Caleb on their queen size bed. He is now quite able to roll, and if he gets it right with the first roll, he can actually maintain a momentum and continue on for a THIRD roll-over... I think we'll be looking for a bed for Caleb's own use very soon, or that we'd be getting a new bed for Caitlin, and Caleb taking over this cot-bed convertible contraption. Thanks Hissychick, Lia,

I have to admit, I got less worried as each kid came along. Sometimes the thud sounds worse than it is.
