Bumps and dings

[zandeela]

Well, LO got her first shiner yesterday. She was walking around and tipped forward. she tried to catcher herself on the table at daycare but missed with her hands and caught it with her face. Poor thing! her teacher was so apologetic when I picked her up.   Today it is not as bad ad I thought it would be. the upper lid is a little puffy, but it will have some amazing colors in it in the next few days. I took her grocery shopping last night and kept wanting to tell people "she is just learning to walk and fell.  I swear I do not hit my child!"

Anyone else have a good bump or ding?

this was her last night when I picked her up

I am empathetic for sure. Our LO has had cuts, scrapes, bruises... the worst though was when he he tumbled from a chair level to the floor. Mama wasn't so happy about that.

Poor thing!!! And poor mamma!

Wow!! Poor girl!! Aside from minor bruises, scratches, etc, Abby got a good bruise on her forehead just before Thanksgiving dinner. I was sitting on the couch holding her and she was super squirmy...so much so that she squirmed right out of my arms and took a header into the corner of the coffee table the picture doesn't even do it justice because it had a big lump too!

No cuts or scrapes, but he did fall head first off the bed. #momfail

DS fell face first into his Rockabye Baby rocker when he first started walking. He skinned the end of his nose and but his lip but we survived.

Mine's not walking yet, but she just started really crawling within the last two weeks. Sometimes she gets so excited and starts going really fast. We have hard wood floors. She's face planted a couple times now. She has a scratch and small bruise right now on her nose as a result.

Right before Christmas, daycare was getting her lunch ready and they put her in the booster seat. They turn to get something before strapping her in and she took a header. Nasty bruise, they felt so awful and had me pick her up early.

Oh, I would be so upset about this!!! Thats very irresponsible, IMO.

pml828414 eh, it could have happened to anyone. The booster seat was on the floor so she didn't really fall that far. She can move quick sometimes and this was before she was really mobile so I wasn't that mad at them. They called me right away, had me call the Dr as a precaution, gave me an accident report and they were holding her in the office making her feel better when I got there. One of her teachers also had me message her later that night to check in on her.

DH is definitely not as careful about lo crawling on/over things as I am, and as a result lo took a header off the couch last week >:/ he was fine (carpet) but it scared him. I don't know how LO did it, but he has a big scrape on the top of his ear right now. he's also like mama: always a bruise or 2 on his legs! now that he's crawling and standing up on stuff he gets lots of little bumps. no shiners yet though *knock on wood*

We had some stitches above her eye just before Christmas from trying to walk alone. Then a few weeks ago she fell and split her lip. She's split her lip again 2 days ago. She's pretty rough on herself, but she gets back up and tries again. I can't figure out attaching a pic on mobile. I think is worse on mom than baby when these things happen

zandeela, oh that's pitiful! Nothing to show, but last Friday evening at ds4's soccer practice it was freezing so poor Levi had on a huge coat and took a spill on turf, his little nose was cut pretty good. Last night he banged his head atleast two times on drawers.
e2a  They are so pitiful but it's all part of getting their balance, coordination, etc the bumps and bruises!

maganonymous, shes a doll bruise/bump or not though!

Claire keeps falling and hitting her head in the same two spots. She has bruises on top of bruises.

i cut little man's nail too short and it bled like crazy for 20 minutes. I felt awful for days

B does this too. He has one particular area that he always seems to hit. And he's got bruises All over his legs from crawling and practice walking.

At somewhere around 5.5 months LO fell over reaching for a toy while sitting. She landed face-first in a pile of plastic blocks and ended up with a shiner. I called DH crying I felt so bad about it.

Also while cutting her nails months ago I cut a bit of skin off the tip of her thumb and it bled for a while. I can actually still see a little scar from it

J is constantly listing to side and smacking his temples. They're almost always some shade of bruise there.

Oh, I didn't realize it was on the floor. We have a booster in our dining room chair (that's over tile) and if L would fall out of that face first, it'd be really bad.
Glad she's ok!

[northernlghts]

Oh, sorry, I should have been clearer originally. Yes, I agree a chair I would have been much more upset.
