Kiele fell from the bed

Yesterday, Kiele had a fall from the bed. After her massage and bath, the massage lady wrapped her and placed her on the bed, mom had just gone to the balcony to attend to some urgent chores – then there was a loud boom – the massage lady rushed to the bedroom. There baby was lying on the floor and crying. She had a big lump on her head.

Mom immediately gave her few teaspoons of sugar water and applied lot of oil on her head to lessen the lump. This all happened in the afternoon. By evening the lump was very small. There was no pain either.

These things do happen with kids, so do not get hyper - just be calm. Yes, but one should be careful too don’t let the same thing happen over and over again. It is best to keep small babies either on the floor or in their cradle. My baby willingly sleeps in the cradle only at night. If your baby is kept on the bed see to it that there is someone with your baby to attend to her. At the age of 6 months they are quite capable of throwing away, pushing the pillows or climbing over them – so please don’t feel it keeping pillows by her side is safe – it isn’t – am speaking through experience.
