On the day our little man turned 6 months, he decided he needed a really long nap. I managed to get him to fall asleep in our king sized bed wrapped in Daddy’s sheet so I let him stay there so as not to disturb him. He ended up sleeping for almost 3 hours. I checked on him so many times over those 3 hours but just after the last time I checked him, I heard this horrible screaming.

Our poor little man had managed to push himself backwards, head first off the bed. I came running into our room and found him with his body stuck between the bedside table and the bed and he was completely covered in Daddy’s sheet.

He was histerical and took a long time to calm down. He had red marks on his leg and on his head. I felt soo terrible! I called the HealthDirect phone line and they said just to keep monitoring him. It is the worst I have ever felt. Later that day I figured out how he ended up on the floor. He started pushing himself backwards on his back with his legs which he hasn’t done before. I positioned him on the bed so that if he rolled he wouldn’t come off.

Luckily he was fine by the afternoon. It was just me that hadn’t got over it. Needless to say, he will never nap on our bed again.
