One he was standing on the floor and arched backwards and to the side and landed on his head. The next day he did the same move while sitting on my lap and landed on his face. I felt awful!! He cried hard both times and I felt like crap. Unfortunately it happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-bumped-her-head-has-anyone-else-given-their-baby-a-booboo#post-55639 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 23:37:32 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 55639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Papa Y was horsing around with Baby Y as we were loading up the SUV. He hoisted him into the air ... and bonked his head on the open trunk door. Many tears were shed, but he was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-bumped-her-head-has-anyone-else-given-their-baby-a-booboo#post-55593 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 20:58:07 +0000 ALittleP 55593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a LO yet but my dad was bathing my younger brother when he was about 4 months old. My dad says that my brother was so slippery that he slipped out of my dad's hands/arms and fell between the bathroom counter and the toilet and he (brother) hit his head. I die laughing every time I hear that story! I always say "so that's why T is the way he is!" LOL - my brother is now a cardiologist, so he turned out OK!</p> <p>Anyway, babies are definitely resilient :) Just give extra hugs and kisses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-bumped-her-head-has-anyone-else-given-their-baby-a-booboo#post-55424 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:21:47 +0000 theknest 55424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH has "softly" bonked his head a couple of times...he even fell down a few steps with him one time - luckily he protected our baby from hitting any surfaces it just scared the poop out of our LO. My DH can only sit and hold the baby now...kidding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-bumped-her-head-has-anyone-else-given-their-baby-a-booboo#post-55389 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 13:34:25 +0000 sunshine44 55389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you guys for making me feel better!<br /> @Owlmom: that is precisely the reason I never ever cut her nails! I let the hubs take that responsibility because I always get her skin when I try to do it. It's so hard even when you're careful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-bumped-her-head-has-anyone-else-given-their-baby-a-booboo#post-54885 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 17:57:46 +0000 owlmom 54885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I accidentally clipped a bit of skin on my LO's finger when I was clipping her nails. She didn't cry at all, and I didn't know it happened until I saw a little bit of blood on her shirt. I felt so bad that I was sick to my stomach. Fortunately it never bothered her and healed quickly, but my palms still sweat every time I clip her nails. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-bumped-her-head-has-anyone-else-given-their-baby-a-booboo#post-54875 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 17:45:29 +0000 banana 54875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I felt bad! I was holding LO and reached down to grab something off the floor and bonked his head against the stair rail. He whimpered but didn't cry. I felt so bad. I hope I didn't kill any braincells! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-bumped-her-head-has-anyone-else-given-their-baby-a-booboo#post-54770 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:17:59 +0000 chopsuey 54770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we've all bonked our LO's heads at some point or another. Thankfully babies are resilient little things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-bumped-her-head-has-anyone-else-given-their-baby-a-booboo#post-54762 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:03:11 +0000 Rubies 54762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was sitting up on her own and I looked away for *one second* and she fell backwards and her head hit the ground (luckily it was on the carpet). She yelped for a few seconds but I distracted her with her Sophie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-bumped-her-head-has-anyone-else-given-their-baby-a-booboo#post-54752 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:38:51 +0000 sunshine44 54752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was trying to get LO into a more comfortable position in my lap, and I bumped her head against the wall behind me!! She cried for a few minutes so loud, I felt like I must have hit it so hard! I feel so so terrible =..(<br /> Anyone else made a mistake? </p>
