Our first rolled off the bed too (on dad's watch  ). We did take him to ER but all was well.
Our first had really bad reflux and I agonized over letting him sleep in the rock'n' play a few times but I did do it because we were all exhausted. We threw it out for #2 but that's one that I would probably try to avoid, not so much because of the recall but to save myself the stress of thinking about "what if." |

| Don't worry -- I set mine down at the top of stairs and she rolled down a couple steps -- scary but okay |

Sleep
I created terrible sleep habits with my first. We weren’t consistent and we felt so emotional about the whole thing. Every time my baby cried my DH would say “she’s SUFFERING!!” We laugh about it now, but it was rough. |

| Waking my newborn to feed her at night. I learned by my second baby to let the baby sleep if he is sleeping! |

Oh, don’t be absurd. You have no information about kid’s age, height of bed, surface fallen upon. |

| I made the mistake of saving the really great outfits for special occasions. Too often, she grew out of them before they got any wear. Such a bummer! |

| Giving water to baby when he was only 3 months old. We were in Florida and it was really hot so I was worried he should be drinking more throughout the day (he was ebf besides the one incident of giving him water). He got explosive diarrhea (luckily it only lasted a very short while). We felt horrible. We had no idea infants under 6 months absolutely shouldn’t be given water. |
