Have your baby ever fallen from furniture?

Question

Answer

I cosleep with the doc a tot on a Japanese futon so I haven’t had this happen to me thankfully

Answer

My baby fell off my mattress 2 weeks ago. It’s on the floor since we bedshare. My husband had placed her there and turned around to pick up something and she rolled off, about 10 or 11 inches to the hardwood floor. It was awful. I heard her fall from the other room. She was screaming and crying so I nursed her until she calmed down and fell asleep. It was her nap time but I was afraid to let her sleep after falling so I woke her up and she was all smiles. Watched her the rest of the day feeling her head and just being overly anxious but she was and is fine.
Lesson learned though, we will never put her down on a surface she could fall from without close supervision... it would have been worse if our bed wasn’t on the ground!

Answer

I did used to risk leaving him on the couch before he could roll. But after reading some stories shared online it’s not worth the risk. I put him on the floor when I’m going somewhere. He can’t fall further than the floor

Answer

My first son fell off my bed around 7 months old. It wasn’t a far fall but it scared the heck out of me. So I learned my lesson so with this baby I don’t leave her on anything high when not in my sight.

Answer

My bf was watching our son and he fell off the couch and hit his little bum.. thankfully it more scared him then hurt him

Answer

I was working at my desk and my wife came and put my son on his swinging chair located behind me. she told me to keep an eye on him so every once and a while I'd look back and make sure he was ok. well little to my knowledge she didn't strap him in... so I was working away and all of a sudden hear a thump and cryinging. he had pushed out of the chair and fallen to the ground. luckily he hadn't landed on his face. but it was a good 18 inch drop. Never have I felt like such an inadequate father.
