I dropped Jacob in his bouncer yesterday ... I was overly tired (is my excuse!!) and was carrying him between rooms. Poor little man

 

[silver_penny]

My LO fell out of bed this morning after he woke up from his nap He had a little cry, but no red marks. He was fine after he had some boobie juice. I still feel bad about it though!

 

[Marleysgirl]

We've had a succession of crying / screaming / squawking days here ... I've taken to putting Andrew upstairs in his cot mid-afternoon "for a nap" regardless of whether he's tired, just so I can get away from the noise He generally gets himself off to sleep for a while.

I feel so rotten that I can't pacify him, and tired with it all. Tired? Knackered. The only time I have to get anything else done is the evening after he's gone to sleep, but I'm too worn out to do anything, the house is awful and the washing is mounting. I do have an OH but he's waiting for an operation so doesn't have any more energy than me.

Sorry, just needed to vent.

I whacked Dexter's head off the door earlier. Poor thing, he screamed He's been bumping his head all day. I just know tomorrow the bruises will have come out!

Been there. Glad it isn't just me. If Abby kicks off, no amount of cuddling seems to work.

Oh yes tell me about it, we are so having the same problem at the moment and nothing works so I just put her upstairs on our bed, close the door and have a break. I even don't bother turning on the monitor.

OMG

A few weeks ago, I unbuckled Cameron from his car seat (on the ground) while checking in at the airport. After I did that, the agent started talking to me. When I was talking to him, my husband went to pick up Cameron in his seat and the handle wasn't all the way up, so Cameron fell face first onto the cement floor!!!!! ARGH!!!! He was fast asleep, and woke up with such a horrible screech!! I was crying too, and kept saying 'fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!' while holding him! He had an instant bruise, and a huge goose egg on his forehead! We both felt sooooo bad.

ANNNNNNNNNNNND........ (omg)..........

Just when that bruise was almost gone, I had him strapped into his change table pad thingy, and I turned around for 1 second to grab a new onezie, and he friggen roller over, and him and the change table pad went straight to the floor. I really don't know how much this baby's head can take, but he's been a good sport about all of it.

We've learned our lesson though. ALWAYS check to make sure he's strapped in when picking him up in his car seat, and NEVER leave him even for 1 second on his change table cuz he rolls like crazy!!!

Josh was in a mood and wanted cuddles, and it was my tea time, i accidentally dropped hot pasta sauce on his head ...

 

[twinklestar]

Katieeee - that made me laugh till i cried, your little gasp as the camera goes dead ! thats just the sort of stuff i do !

ive got a fair few bad mummy moments stacking up being that im on the 4th buba but here are my worst so far

1- with eldest, he was a really colicy baby and one night after hours of pacing and shhhhhing i thought ' i know il try and see if he will settle if i rock him in his car seat, so i put the carseat on the bed and as i was (what i considered wisely strapping him in 'incase' ) i managed to topple the seat off the bed, i screamed as it landed face down and as i lifted it off of him there he lay fast asleep- crikey i bet he though id better pack in this screaming shes turned to violence!!!

2-with second child- i was cutting her finger nails with baby clippers and caught the top of her finger she was only 3 weeks old and shook bright red untill a scream came out, and i grabbed her and ran next door to the neighbours who i bearly knew ! it sounded like cutting bacon- i having touched a pair of clippers since and that was 9 years ago ! ( her finger was fine)

daughter number 2 seems to have so far remained unharmed...well if you dont count banging head into every door frame in the house

so baby Kane is 7 weeks old today and so far has had to put up with me, accidently poking him in the eye and making his gum bleed when i was wiping some milk away and caught him with my nail

dear god i cant be trusted!!!

Yup I'm guilty of that one too. I wouldn't mind but Charlotte rolled off the bed at 5 months and paranoid new Mummy that I was, I rushed her to A and E. I swore I'd never let that happen again. Daniel rolled off the bed last week. Carpet burn to forehead and everthing. Did he go to A and E? Nah...he's number 3 LOL!

I am so glad this thread is here!

I caught my LO's head on the coffee table when lifting her out of her bouncer. I kept an eye on her all day but was still worried hence a trip to A&E but she was fine. I think we're more upset then them, luckily they easily forget!
