[quote=Anonymous]I had to go into work tonight for a function and was taking one quick glance in the mirror when my 8 month old daughter fell from my bed to the hardwood floor. It is about a 2.5 foot distance. I did not actually see her fall but heard a thud, and when I got to her it appears that she fell hand and feet first but really I have no idea. I feel ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE about this. I just feel absolutely awful. I cannot believe that I did something so stupid, stupid, stupid. I called the ped immediately and they said that if she was acting normal and there were no obvious bumps or injuries just to watch her carefully and call them if there was a problem.

I listened to their advice and then went about my night, and now that I am home from my work function I am second guessing myself. I feel like I should have had my DH take her to the emergency room or at the very least made sure she was seen by her doctor. For all I know she hit her head, and now she is upstairs sleeping, and I just have no idea if she was okay or not. DH did say that she did not drink as much formula as normal tonight (but he fed her more solid food than normal soo..) she had another feeding right after she fell (30m later) and she had the whole thing then.

I'm not sure what to do. Should I go wake her up to make sure she is okay? She is recovering from the flu also so I don't want to make things worse with her sleep. I just feel like I am never going to be able to sleep tonight because I am so worried.[/quote]
