wow, what a coincidence that we are talking about this today. just this morning, a friend of mine in South Carolina texted me to ask for prayers and positive thoughts because her and her 3 month old daughter fell down the stairs. Apparently she slipped on a stair on her heel or pant hem and her and baby tumbled. Her hubby was home thank god and took them straight to the ER where they were observed for a few hours and were both fine.

I have never fallen with a daycare child, but with my son. We were on vacation back home in Portugal and they have some cobblestone streets. Hubby, I and baby in the front carrier were going for a walk. I stepped in the hole of a missing stone and i fell forward and landed on all fours to stop myself from falling on top of my 9 month old. He cried and cried but we couldn't figure out why, there was no physical indication of injury. My aunt works at a medical clinic and asked for a doctor to check over him and my poor baby had a minor hairline fracture in his skull. It healed on it's own before his 1st b-day. I scraped both hands and knees but didnt care as long as baby was ok.

My 18 month old DCB fell down my last 2 steps to my basement daycare and hurt his arm only one month into my care. I was literally right behind him but i had another dcg in one arm and holding my 3 yr old hand. i couldn't stop him. It wasn't a long or hard fall but he landed on his arm. He cried for quite a bit, his arm looked ok but he wouldnt stop crying for almost an hour. and i was a wreck. I called DCdad and he came to get him. Said dcb was fine. Had some lunch and slept fine and didn't even mention it the next day.
