@crazydoglady: girl. We have all been there. Newborns are physiologically designed to withstand a lot- their bones are super soft and after breathing underwater (amniotic fluid?) for 9 months they can handle a little fluid. A little water and a little drop into a belly isn't going to harm her. I know for a fact you are a wonderful mom. But I am glad you got a new tub so that's one less thing for YOU to worry about.
Xoxox

@crazydoglady: when my son was a couple weeks old, I was feeding him in the middle of the night, I laid him across my lap to rehook my nursing tank. I pick him up and put him to my shoulder to burp him. It's not working so I lean over to turn on the light so I can get him changed and try to burp him again... I'd been holding him upside down by the waist... For a couple minutes... Bouncing him lightly... And patting him between the shoulders? Instead of his bottom... 🤦‍♀️

We all have moments early on, sounds like everything is ok with her. Don't beat yourself up.

@Sams Mom: this made me spit my wine out from laughter. I mean, ok, so it’s not funny, but I just can’t stop laughing envisioning it.

@Littlebit7: @MamaBear87: I will take that to the grave with people I know I was a hot mess!

@MamaBear87: I dropped sour cream and onion dip on my son's forehead when he was probably a week old and I scraped it off with a chip and ate it 🤦‍♀️

Stop...... you are fine!
DH closed DD's fingers in her wipe container at like days old she was screaming and we both panicked looking around like what happened when I realized instead if opening it I pulled her poor fingers out

@crazydoglady: My DW pulled off our newborns belly button (cord) accidentally with her Fitbit. To this day ... it’s an outtie! Lol. So much bleeding. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I again laid him across my lap (but in broad daylight this time) and in my sleep deprived state I picked him up upside down and went to kiss him, but there was no head. I screamed freaking out thinking he had no head. My husband witnessed this one though.

@Sams Mom: omg stop with the upside down baby and chip scraping forehead bit!! I just LOL so hard. You win...

Both of my babies have tumbled down our ENTIRE stairwell as babies, they are wooden with no carpet or stair runner to soften the fall. They wailed SO loud with their final thud. I thought I had completely broken them. Happened twice!! Two different babies!!

3 kids and I’ve done it all..

1)caught my 4 month old by ankles while I was trying to put my bra strap on in public!
2)pretty sure my oldest fell off the bed when she was couple of months. Didn’t know they could scooch at the young age.
3)I have eaten off all my babies 🤷‍♀️
4)and my son has fallen down the stairs.
5)oh when my oldest was 8 months, she pulled herself up the side of crib and flipped over and landed on the floor

@Sams Mom: omg I can’t. Not funny, but funny. “No head!”

Dh let DD run into the windowsill the day before a checkup. And I was the one who had to take her with a black eye. It was rough. I immediately went in there explaining we are NOT abusing her and please don’t call CPS on us! It didn’t help that my parents are both medical professionals and lectured us that if DD keeps having bruises we were going to have problems. DH is clumsy, toddlers are clumsy, and we chidlproofed as much as we can. The pediatrician actually laughed and said she knew we weren’t abusing her. 🤷‍♀️. Let’s just say I did not take her out in public for days!

@Sams Mom: lol!!

@crazydoglady: When DS wasn't even a week old I misjudged the doorway to his room and scraped his head on the trim. He cried, I cried, he had a scrape on his head for a week (including at his 2 week appt. and I was terrified the dr. would notice), so bad!

@sams mom are you even a mom if you haven't dropped food on/eaten food off of your newborn? LOL. I think that's a universal thing!!

@Sams Mom: I'm dying, no head!!! I've definitely picked up my children upside down too, but there was enough light that I noticed

@crazydoglady: Welcome to the club I've dropped my phone on their heads while they were asleep, kept trying to shove the wrong end of the bottle in their mouths, bonked their heads on doorframes, shut fingers in accordion closet doors, knocked them over/into furniture when they creep up behind me, let them roll off beds, you name it haha.

Probably the worst was when I didn't see a hornet's nest in their little playhouse outside and told my 18 mo to play in there instead of 'helping' in the garden. She got stung twice

We were on a weekend vacation with my visiting MIL which was already going terribly, it was at a waterpark and it thunderstormed the whole time, LO1 got a fever and we took her to urgent care to rule out strep (and she was one we went to the water park for!). Then the next day DH was in the shower and LO1 was having a massive tantrum so I walked her into the bedroom for a timeout, and shutting the door didn't notice that LO2 was screaming (because she had her fingers in the door by the hinge) since LO1 was already screaming. So I wasn't sure how much force I had put on her little fingers because I didn't stop right away and she was only about 12 months old. I felt horrible, cried, I'm sure my MIL thought I was a nutter. DH didn't believe me that I thought her fingers weren't broken so we went to urgent care with LO2 (did I mention I'm a doctor??) and the doc there thought she was fine but we got xrays anyhow which were fine. But we spent so much on those two urgent care trips and this wasted vacation. All with an audience of my MIL. It was so bad.
