humpty dumpty sat on the wall, little imti had a great fall...


well, the title of this entry tells it all....i blamed myself for it...lucky he was a strong boy...here's the story goes....




it was a week after my exam...i've cleared all the book from
my bed...put little Imti to sleep and i slept beside him...when he's up in the
middle of the night for milk, i would move myself to his left or right to get
him to my breast alternately...


the last feed was at 5 am...he sucked well and i dozed back
to sleep...i thought he was awake...he kicked my back but didn't make a sound
(usually he would make noisy babbles and squeak when he woke up)...


and then, BAM!!!! a loud thudding sound followed by a loud
cry...dear hubby saw my little Imti on the floor with his face down....my baby
fell from the bed....!!! he cried so loudly for about 10-15 min....and then i
saw blood mixed with his mucus from his nose...minimal but enough to tell you
his fall with face down had given a trauma to his nose...no other bleeders were
seen....


we managed to put him back to sleep and he slept for 2
hours....he woke up with a smiley face as if nothing happened...he was well
throughout the day apart from the swollen nose...i was assured there was no
broken nose bridge...no vomiting or cranky behaviour...alhamdulillah....


from that moment on, the parents learnt their lesson....we
made sure that the edge of the bed was well protected to avoid him from falling
again...


we didn't experience such fall with Jihan because the 3 of us
slept on the matress on the floor when she was small....

hi...of course i panicked to know the baby is ok or not, it needs thorough examination...me n hubby checked him thoroughly after the fall...
i was scared of any head injury...u should look out for any altered consciousness and vomiting after a fall...if u are not a trained medical personel, i suggest u go to the nearest clinic or hospital ASAP to get ur baby checked...
