She's maybe not rolling like she used to just now because she got a fright last time she rolled somewhere! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-off-bed#post-2167083 Tue, 05 May 2015 05:03:18 +0000 daniellemybelle 2167083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@msplatypus: I know how it feels! I used to worry I had made my LO less smart because she fell off the bed a few times... and I banged her head into a door frame more than once... but she's really smart and awesome. Babies are designed to be super resilient! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-off-bed#post-2166947 Mon, 04 May 2015 20:37:56 +0000 BananaPancakes 2166947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She'll be fine. Mine rolled off the bed twice, off the couch once, and off my lap while I was sitting in the glider in the nursery. I passed out from exhaustion several times in those first months, and the poor kid kept rolling off of stuff because of it. Never even gave him a bump, and twice he didn't even wake up. It's all good! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-off-bed#post-2166931 Mon, 04 May 2015 20:26:26 +0000 MrsRcCar 2166931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@msplatypus: both of my boys have rolled off the bed at least 3 times. Not proud but they are just fine. My oldest rolled clean off the changing table on DH's watch. It feels awful but your Lo will be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-off-bed#post-2166927 Mon, 04 May 2015 20:21:59 +0000 Dandelion 2166927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest did that. He's almost 8 now and really smart, so no damage seems to have been done.</p> <p>I remember the feeling though...your LO will be ok. Babies are pretty resilient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-off-bed#post-2166880 Mon, 04 May 2015 19:24:24 +0000 Tanjowen 2166880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I once went to a conference where a doctor spoke about how babies the first year are, in her words, "big bouncy balls." It sounds awful, but it was oddly reassuring to me. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-off-bed#post-2166821 Mon, 04 May 2015 18:20:23 +0000 msplatypus 2166821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you everyone! I'm still worried because she isn't rolling around like she usually does and is having trouble for naps. Maybe she is in some pain :( But she's been smiling and laughing all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-off-bed#post-2166746 Mon, 04 May 2015 16:40:56 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2166746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry. You're not a bad mom! My kids have both fallen off beds and couches, and the worst was when D dove head first out of his high chair and landed on his forehead. We took him to urgent care and thankfully he scored a 0 on their danger chart (above 2 they would have done a neural work up) since he was responsive, able to move appropriately, reacted immediately, no bleeding from his eyes/ears etc. Don't bear yourself up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-off-bed#post-2166676 Mon, 04 May 2015 15:35:49 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2166676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's always so scary when this happens! I tripped up the stairs with LO in my arms when he was 2 months old and hit his head hard on our post at the top. I was a wreck, but he was screaming his head off (which is a good sign). Everything is going to be ok, and you're not a terrible mom. This happens to every one of us in some capacity. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-off-bed#post-2166673 Mon, 04 May 2015 15:32:04 +0000 snowjewelz 2166673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine fell of the couch once too, I was soo freaked out but DH was actually the one telling me that they're sturdier than we think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-off-bed#post-2166664 Mon, 04 May 2015 15:23:12 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 2166664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little guy fell off the bed the day he started crawling. He was a little grumpy/subdued for a couple of days but he was completely fine. I felt terrible about it at the time, but now I can (almost) laugh about it.</p> <p>Your LO will be fine and you're not a terrible mom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-off-bed#post-2166657 Mon, 04 May 2015 15:17:04 +0000 PurplePeony 2166657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let it happen once and I still feel like the worst mom ever. Like, when i remember it, it still makes me feel like throwing up. I was overanalyzing LO's every move for days afterward, thinking something had to be wrong, but she was totally fine. I'm sure your LO will be, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-off-bed#post-2166649 Mon, 04 May 2015 15:09:55 +0000 Mamasig 2166649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She'll be fine. DS1 has fallen off the bed three times on DH's watch. They bounce back quick. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-off-bed#post-2166634 Mon, 04 May 2015 15:01:14 +0000 Mommy Finger 2166634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH didn't get the memo that our 4 mo could roll so he put him in the middle of our bed and went quickly to run to the bathroom. DS rolled off the bed. Luckily, our bed is a platform bed so it wasn't too big of a fall. DH felt awful and still feels bad. But that was over 2 years ago and DS is perfectly fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-off-bed#post-2166575 Mon, 04 May 2015 14:34:43 +0000 Tidybee 2166575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it's such a scary thing....but I'm sure she's fine. My doctor and mom friends say it's just a rite of initiation into motherhood...every kid falls off the bed at some point. I was hysterical when it happened...like I had to call in to work and say I was going to be late, and i could barely speak. Just go easy on yourself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-off-bed#post-2166568 Mon, 04 May 2015 14:32:13 +0000 msplatypus 2166568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in my room folding clothes and I turned my back to up date my wall calendar, I was maybe a foot from the bed when I hear a thump and the baby is on the floor at my feet crying. I feel like such a terrible mom. I'm holding her for her nap now as she wouldn't go down for it. We took her to the ped because it seemed like she was having trouble holding her head up. they sent us home after she laughed her way through the appointment. But she won't nap or roll over in her crib like she usually does. I'm such a mess right now! Please tell me she's going to be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-ever-fall-from-the-learning-tower#post-1446613 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 16:37:49 +0000 cranberryapple 1446613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: DS has had the Little Partner's Learning Tower since he was 14 months and he started climbing in and out of it by 15 months, so I guess that's why I wasn't really concerned. For the most part, he does really well in it, but yes, admittedly, a handful of times, he has fallen from it. It's usually too fast for me to even be able to register it! </p> <p>@sandy: He's a short lil' guy, but I will consider lowering it! Just hope it doesn't end up being too low. The next rung down doesn't look too low though, so this might work. </p> <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Thanks! He appears fine. :) </p> <p>@mediagirl: I put one side of the learning tower up against the counter, but the other side is free, so perhaps he was too curious of what I was doing and leaned a little too forward, if that makes sense? Maybe he was trying to reach for something, or grab me? Not sure! </p> <p>@Mrs. Sketchbook: Such a little climber! I know he'll enjoy climbing that learning tower! That's what DS likes doing as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-ever-fall-from-the-learning-tower#post-1445799 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 13:25:31 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1445799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: mine has definitely fallen before not off the table but in trying to climv onto the chair. I think the amount of falling could also have a lot to do with how often they are trying to climb...in our case we haven't encouraged him to climb but nevertheless it is his favorite thing to do right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-ever-fall-from-the-learning-tower#post-1445793 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 13:23:45 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1445793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: @mediagirl: my son is an amazing climber at 18 months. He didn't walk until 15 months, but started climbing up on the kitchen table at 15 months and the counters at 17 months. We want a tower just to give him a productive way to channel his desire to be up high. I think the readiness thing has a lot to do with their development and their desire to practice certain skills. When I am in the kitchen my son is constantly climbing onto our table and a learning tower would help me immensely! Sadly it isn't in the budget at the moment but hopefully soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-ever-fall-from-the-learning-tower#post-1445783 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 13:17:06 +0000 MsLipGloss 1445783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: No - I didn't think so at all! It was just sort of a general request to the HB boards at large. It was just an observation (based on the info I do have) that may not be well-received. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-ever-fall-from-the-learning-tower#post-1445780 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 13:16:37 +0000 mediagirl 1445780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I wasn't flaming, sorry if you took it that way! M is very cautious so it may be that OP's lo is much more adventurous than mine. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-ever-fall-from-the-learning-tower#post-1445773 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 13:14:04 +0000 MsLipGloss 1445773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Maybe it's because my LO is a peanut that makes me hesitant to start too soon. Also, that falls have happened a few times makes me think maybe the OP's LO may not be quite ready . . . ? Don't flame me, but just being honest . . . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-ever-fall-from-the-learning-tower#post-1445752 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 13:05:05 +0000 mediagirl 1445752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cranberryapple: she hasn't ever fallen from it but when she first started using it and couldn't get up and down by herself, I kept a close eye on her. Now she can get up and down by herself and I just let her hang out up there, but never leave the room if she's in it.</p> <p>I'm curious how he is leaning too far over it. Would moving the bottom down a notch help?<br /> @MsLipGloss: M's been using it since she was 15 months old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-ever-fall-from-the-learning-tower#post-1445611 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 12:21:05 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1445611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a learning tower, so I can't speak for that, but glad to hear your LO is ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-ever-fall-from-the-learning-tower#post-1445522 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 11:55:21 +0000 sandy 1445522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Little Partners learning tower and she hasn't fallen from it but we started using it when she turned 2. She climbs in easily and has to sit and turn around to get out. It's on the highest setting so it's pretty high up even for my tall 2 year old. I think it would be pretty difficult for her to climb over the top. Can you adjust the setting down so he can't get his legs over the top to climb out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-ever-fall-from-the-learning-tower#post-1445464 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 11:40:52 +0000 MsLipGloss 1445464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>19 months seems awfully young for a LT . . . I only know of one that is recommended for 18 months and up (the Little Partners LT). Maybe hold off for a few months until your LO is even more steady on his feet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-ever-fall-from-the-learning-tower#post-1445436 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 11:35:38 +0000 cranberryapple 1445436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO (19 months) has fallen from the Learning Tower a handful of times. Today, he leaned forward a little too much and fell down head first onto the back of his head. Thank goodness we don't have tile floors, but that looked painful! Just wondering how often, if ever, your LOs fall from the Learning Tower, or if it's only me that's a terrible parent! Haha. Even now, I have to remind him to not lift his leg up to climb...like, he didn't learn his lesson! </p>
