Baby fell on his head
Yesterday, I was sitting next to my baby (9 months) on a pool chair/lounger. In the second it took me to stand up and turn around, he had gotten to the edge and toppled over hitting his little head on the hard tiled floor. It couldn’t have been more than 6inches but he was obviously crying super hard and laying on his back.
He was consoled pretty fast and has been his usual self but now he has this little red mark and I just feel so guilty and terrible and can’t stop beating myself up. I didn’t even see it happen and I just feel like the worst parent. I know kids fall over all the time and it’s bound to happen but he literally fell on his head onto hard tile. Now all I want to do is wrap him in bubble wrap and never take my eyes off of him.
I just needed to tell someone because I feel so embarrassed. My husband was also right there and he says he doesn’t blame me but I know it was my fault as I was the default parent watching him at the time
