bub fell out of bed

[Aava.Wong]

@starebear - my hubby would not be understanding about the whole thing. he nags on little things like "you're not holding him right!", "bub's feeling uncomfy, can you pls look at his uncomfy face?", "the cereal is too hot!", "the diaper is too tight!" etc. my helper has a harder time with my hubby than me. lol

@shenzhennifer - aww lucky that he landed on his bum. i hope it doesn't happen to anyone too! when you think that it will be ok to do this/that even we know not to do it then IT happens!

It happened to me, as in I was the one who fell out of bed when my mum wasn't looking, haha.

Me too... I cracked my skull. Mum thought that she should get it checked out.... just incase... so I had an x-ray. Nothing can be done for this and I had no problems.

On a simiar (but different) topic, when did you move your baby/child from the crib to a proper bed? And I assume the started bed is low on the ground so the kid wouldn't roll off?

My baby loves to sleep in the middle of our big bed and sleeps well and i'm wondering if I should graduate her from the crib to a mattress on the floor?

my first moved to a big bed when he was about a year old (his cot pretty much fell apart when daddy and i tried to dismantle it). we put a rail along the side of the bed, so he wouldn't fall.

our second moved to a big bed when she was about 18 months. it, too, had a rail until she was about 2. she still occasionally falls out of bed, but is more scared than hurt when it happens. a real bed (for kids) is not really that high off of the floor and the damage that can be done is more to the child's pride/nerves than to their body.

gotcha thanks Cara!!

may i kindly enquire on what's a good place to buy kid's beds and rails?

the first time is always the worse, when i told my friend about it he says 'all babies bounce'!

 

[Aava.Wong]

indeed it is, solidstars. really hoping that that was the first time as well as the last! *wishful thinking*

we never bought a "kid's bed" rather just a regular twin size. it just seemed wasteful to me to keep replacing beds when it isn't really necessary. i was able to get a really cool "race car" bed on an expat website. it is a little tikes model and is a HUGE bed! i only paid $1000 for the frame and i supplied my own matress. the same frame at toys club is about $4.5-5.5k!!!!

for a rail for my daughter we just got one from toys r us, i think?
