cant stop feeling guilty, make me feel better by telling me your mistakes!?

You're being ridiculous. But, if it makes you feel any better, when my oldest (now 5) was 9 months old, I left my curling iron on in my bathroom and he crawled in there and pulled it down on himself. He badly burned his arm and will be scarred for life. Sure I felt guilty, but accidents, as preventable as some may be, are inevitable and focusing on that will make you less focused on your child.

You felt guilty because you felt something for the guy. You said no and tried your best but when he grabbed you , you actually wanted him to. You felt you deserved punishment and maybe you hoped Jon would let you go, so you could be with someone else. Instead he forgave you and was nice about it so you feel really bad. But... How do you know he was 100% innocent while he was away? Maybe he had some fun too? You might ask him about that. You have to acknowledge you were apart, on a break, and will start again when he comes back. Are you sure you want to?

My daughter is 13 and I still sometimes think about the almost tragic moment my husband and I had with her when she was about 18 months!

We were at the garden center getting flowers and stuff and as we were loading the car together, we both suddenly realized that...well, we were both loading the car together and therefore, no one was watching the little one. We turned around and she was halfway across the street. Ugh, I nearly fainted on the spot, but there were, by the grace of God, no cars coming. My husband just ran out(actually pausing first to look both ways, which I can still vividly picture) and scooped her up. I think I couldn't sleep for about 3 days. (The moral of the story: Put the kid in the car seat BEFORE you load the other completely unimportant stuff into the car! I certainly learned that one the hard way)

Just say a prayer of thanks(if you are so inclined) that he is completely fine and try to put it behind you.

I havent yet! Thank god, But the other day , my hubby was putting on his shoes, and was holding the baby. He came up and didnt realize he was close to the corner of the wall and BAM. I looked up and he had the look of . OMG !!! I just hurt the baby. lol I had to tell him snap out of it and comfort her. She was crying for like 5 mions. Had a welt on the side of her head.

I was all over her , lookin at her eyes, making sure they dialate . Would not let her go to sleep . You know the worry wart syndrom . all mom's get it.

She ended up being just fine, and the next day, the bump was gone.. Poor thing tho.

But really hun, dont feel bad. Accidents happen. And remember there are going to be alot more of these situations later on in life. Wait til the walking stage. Table corners. Sidewalks. Stairs. Its all part of raising babies and children. We are always gonna worry and be cautious. But no matter how cautious we are, there will always be bumps and bruises. Cant stop them all.

You are a great mom , for being worried and concernd

Oh yes, I took my daughter to school and left the baby outside the classroom. I had walked for 5 minutes on the way home and realised I had left the baby at school. That baby is now 28 and I still think of it. I ran all the way back that day and no one even noticed, only me and I was in tears. I never did it again.

Last week I left my 8 month old baby sleeping on the couch with a pillow beside him and I went to put on a load of laundry. As I was walking up out of the laundry room I heard him crying and when I looked on the couch he wasn't there...he had fallen off the couch, landed on the pillow and rolled onto the floor. As soon as I picked him up he stopped crying but I felt so bad that I left him there and he fell off.

Accidents happen to all new parents. My mom was bouncing my sister on her knee and accidently dropped her and she ended up having to get stitches! anyway as i was saying those things happen, just be glad that it was only a close call and not the real deal. Besides, you were not trying to hurt your baby---and considering that there are people out there who do...you have nothing to be ashamed of, it wasn't like you did it on purpose.

It is completely normal to feel inadequete when you do stuff like that though, I have a 1 year old son and i've made mistakes but everyone does so don't be hard on yourself.

p.s. congrats on the little one!!! :-)

When my daughter was about a month old, we had a little portable swing that she loved. It had a little swing-away mobile on it. I had one of those plush dangling toys you're supposed to clip onto a carrier or stroller to let them stare and bat at, but it was too long for both and would dangle literally right in her face. It seemed to be about the right length to dangle off the mobile on her swing, however, so one night as she was swinging away, I clipped it on and went into the kitchen momentarily. I figured she'd like staring at it, since she has always been an "alert" baby. I wasn't even gone 30 seconds when she started crying. I went to check on her, and the dangling toy had tilted the mobile over and the toy was wacking her in the face as the swing was going back and forth! Her little hands were up in front of her face trying to ward it off! I felt so, so bad and grabbed her up out of the swing right away.

I was trying to cut my son's fingernails and I cut his skin instead. I could not stop crying... I think I cried more than he did.

We were laying on the couch together and he fell off :(

Babies are extremely resilient and bounce back fro a lot. Accidents happen. Let yourself feel guilty for as long as your child cries, because once they stop crying about it, they're over it. Just make sure you learn from your accidents :)

When one of my children was about 3 he was sitting in the big part of a shooping cart and fell out on his head..... It happens try not to let stuff like that happen but if it does and it was a honest accident thats life. If you could have provented it then you have learned a good lesson without injury.

My fiance was walking down a hill to the beach on the weekend and the baby was in the sling and he slid on mud and fell I was watching in horror as him and our baby fell!

He took out his knee but made sure he fell onto his back so he didnt fall on her!

She was perfectly fine didnt even let out a cry (he was limping for the rest of the weekend)..

Ive accidently scratched my baby and she let out a scream that made me feel terrible!!! ( I now make sure my nails are really short!) lol

But accidents happen and you just do your best to protect your baby.
