She tricked me by leaning one way towards the middle of the bed (so I wasn't on high alert to catch her), then lunged toward the AC unit on the wall. She slid down between the bed and wall, and was holding on to the comforter, so she hardly had any impact. She did get a little burn on her arm from sliding against the wall, but that was it. Scared me half to death though!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed/page/2#post-1049157 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 10:24:32 +0000 mrsjyw 1049157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: awwww poor babe, hope he's okay!!!! and you too mama!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed/page/2#post-1049137 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 10:19:30 +0000 luckypenny 1049137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Again last night!! DH didn't tell me she was in the bed and he left to sleep in the couch without putting up rails. Grrrr </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed/page/2#post-1049095 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 10:08:05 +0000 wheres_c 1049095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: I just got initiated into the club a few minutes ago!</p> <p>Similar to @rattles:</p> <p>I left LO on the bed for a nanosecond to grab his bottle.<br /> He fell off the bed head first hitting his head on the nightstand on the way down.<br /> Luckily, he is still wearing his plagiocephaly helmet one more week, so I don't think it really hurt this time....but he cried and I feel awful :(<br /> I am so not ready for the inevitable ER trips.<br /> When I was a kid I was there at least every 3 months... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed/page/2#post-1048154 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 22:21:00 +0000 Purpledaisy 1048154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She feel out of our bed when she was one month old. I still feel bad about it. Thankfully it was onto carpet and she didn't hit her head at all. I'm not even exactly sure what happened, I was so tired and dozed off for literally a second! 5 months later and I still have so much mommy guilt over it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed/page/2#post-1048139 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 22:12:45 +0000 Springtime 1048139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I remember the first time he fell out of his swing, it was so scary and I freaked out. Now at 16 months he knows how to climb and get down on pretty much whatever, he still gives me a heart attack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1048114 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 21:55:42 +0000 cheert16 1048114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 month old fell off the bed (he rolled and I didn't know he could do that!) and we went to the Peditrician for an emergency appt and she said he was 100% fine and I was probably the one who needed a prescription! She prescribed a galls of wine to relax me when I got home!! He was totally ok- but I still feel guilty about it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1048109 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 21:51:29 +0000 MrsRcCar 1048109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>N has zero fear. He has fallen off the couch probably about 3 times now. I don't worry too much anymore because he seems to be fine after. He had a scary head injury when he was smaller (Dh bumped N's head on a semi-sharp edge. N was fine but it scared us pretty good). We joke that my hubby's family is just hard headed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1048085 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 21:30:50 +0000 matador84 1048085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes to bed. Worst fall ever...fell out of cart cover STRAPPED in at Home Depot into concrete floor. I thought I was going to die. Didn't even have a bump on his head but it HAD to hurt my poor baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1048063 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 21:16:20 +0000 mrsjyw 1048063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: aww C!

It was such a sad sight I burst out laughing. He also fell off my nephew's toddler bed in July, I surrounded it with bookshelves and chairs so he can nap but he kicked one of the chairs away from the bed and fell. I was outside and one of the cousins got him. He was fine but I felt so bad for not being there right away, he was in a strange room all alone and I wasn't the first person he saw. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1047848 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 19:40:25 +0000 Pepper 1047848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Hugs!! LO is so active already, I know he's going to have some spills once he starts really rolling/moving! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1047829 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 19:34:01 +0000 dolphin 1047829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH was suppose to watch DD while I was getting ready for work in the morning. I was pumping in the bathroom when I heard a THUMP! I dropped the pumps and ran into the room. DH fell asleep and DD rolled off the bed. She was 6 months old. DH tried to convince me she landed on all fours...like a cat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1047801 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 19:25:47 +0000 googly-eyes 1047801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's ok! I dr googled too. Dd was fine. </p> <p>Couch at ~5 or 6 months. Bed more recently, ~10 months? I caught her head so it wasn't so bad... Picked her up immediately and I don't think she even cried...weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1047745 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 19:10:46 +0000 MrsF 1047745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The same thing happened with M and my DH. He had her on the bed and could see her falling but didn't quite get to her on time. She was just fine. I was upset that she fell but glad that DH told me about it when I get home! </p> <p>Sorry your LO had a fall but glad that he's ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1047698 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 18:52:56 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1047698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. Several times on hardwood floor :( It's a rite of passage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1047647 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 18:38:33 +0000 Ginabean3 1047647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet....but I know it will happen one of these days! :-) She has fallen over on the couch in a face plant... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1047644 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 18:37:38 +0000 luckypenny 1047644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Total rite of passage. DD fell off of the bed when I fell asleep next to her while she was napping. She was fine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1047621 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 18:26:34 +0000 lemondrop 1047621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, rite of passage! C was the same age, sick with his first fever and jumped off the bed. I cried and felt like crap, but we both lived to tell the tale! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1047593 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 18:12:59 +0000 chopsuey 1047593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD fell off the bed when she was around 6 months old. :P<br /> DS rolled off the futon last month! It happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1046860 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 13:38:34 +0000 mrsjyw 1046860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thank you all for your posts and well wishes!!! </p> <p>rite of passage? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1046769 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 13:11:01 +0000 looch 1046769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until just recently, at over 2.5 years old. Rolled right off our bed onto the hardwood floor. Screamed for a minute, continued sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1046765 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 13:10:31 +0000 Pink Champagne 1046765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. He rolled right off the bed at around 7 months. </p> <p>We called his ped and the nurse told us that it happens all the time. Like, seriously, it's one of the most common things that happens to babies. We were instructed to bring him in only if he wasn't acting normally, but he was fine. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1046752 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 13:07:44 +0000 brownie 1046752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just the other night. He rolled off of daddy's side of the bed. He cried and went right back to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1046741 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 13:06:07 +0000 MamaMoose 1046741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M did a face plant out of her rocker when she was 7 months old. Scared the crap out of me. She cried for maybe two minutes and then was totally fine. Far more traumatizing for me than for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1046735 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 13:05:15 +0000 hilsy85 1046735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet but I'm sure it's just a matter of time. Glad A is ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1046723 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 13:03:01 +0000 KT326 1046723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS slid out of the stroller when he was 3 months old because I forgot to buckle him in. Luckily he landed feet first and just kind of fell over.</p> <p>When he was 10 months old he was crawling over my legs (I was sitting on the floor) at our Aunt's house, fell forehead first onto the tile and had a nice big goose egg. Luckily she is a firefighter/paramedic and reassured us he was fine.</p> <p>When he was 12 months old someone didn't close our screen door all the way, he went to bang on the door and did a somersault down the step and onto the concrete patio. Didn't even cry. DH says when I left the room he went running back over to the door to do it again :/</p> <p>When he was 15 months old he dove head first over the arm of our couch onto the hardwood floor. It was like everything was in slow motion and I couldn't get to him fast enough.</p> <p>We went camping when he was 16 months old and there was a small rocky hill from where our tent trailer sat to the campsite itself. He fell down that hill on his behind, slid head first on his belly and rolled down it. I hated that hill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-fallen-off-the-couchbed#post-1046689 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 12:54:25 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1046689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! Maybe slightly older but exact same scenario. I was with him but he scooted just a little too far back, lost his balance and tumbled backward. THUD. He was fine. </p>
