Yesterday my hubby and i was back in our own flat to pack up for our move to Aus (we moved to my parents in the meantime). Since our flat has already been cleared of most things, there was no cot for my ger and in the end had to put her on the master bed when she fell asleep.
While packing, suddenly i heard a loud cry and turns out Avery rolled herself off the bed in her sleep!! My heart nearly stopped for the moment!! She landed on her back and i was so worried that she might have hit the back of her head. Worse still, she cry until she vomited all her milk (was even coming out of her nose). I was crying the whole time we took her to KKH.
Piang... dunno what kind of mommy am i to leave her on the adult bed by herself... esp when i know she can flip already. All i wanted to do was to quickly pack finish so that we can all go back to my parents' place. In the end, my bb end up hurting herself becos mummy wasnt keeping an eye on her.
Spent 4 hrs in kkh.. and thankfully there wasnt any fracture or even a bruise on her. The whole time she was still babbling and turning here and there while under observation. Still drank milk and poo... Nurse say just obs for 72hrs at home to see if any vomiting etc in case of concussion. Cross fingers.. so far she still okie and like her usual self. Just took a nap. Only thing was she was easily startled last night even when sleeping but calm down when i cuddled her.
So, just a caution to all mummies here.. pls dun do what i did and leave ur bb on the bed even with pillows to block for any amt of time, esp when they can flip!! We were just lucky that Avery is okie but that risk is still too great to take. That moment of finding her on the floor crying her heart out will always be etched in my brain.
I have always warned about the dangers of bb falling off but still i let other things take precedence over bb. Having no cot where we were was no excuse. I shdnt have taken my eyes off her. Period.
