I left my baby on the bed for but 2 seconds while I looked away and he managed to fall off. All I heard was a loud noise and immediately ran to him. I looked down and saw him face up. Then I looked closer and saw he has rug burn on his nose. It bled a little on the side of one of his nostrils. All of this while I was getting ready to take him to his 6 month wellness check.This happened yesterday morning. And the amount of guilt I’ve had is insane. I keep thinking I’m such a bad mom. How could I have let this happen? It’s because I’m a horrible mother. He cried for a few minutes and calmed down. But I couldn’t stop crying. I let this happen to his perfect little face. Luckily I had his appointment right after. The doctor reassured me it’s nothing and this type of stuff happens. That his nose will heal up quickly and even gave me an ointment.However, I just can’t stop feeling guilty and horrible. I also was scared for everyone to see him. Especially his grandmother (dad’s side). I pick him there after work. She’s extremely over protective to where it can be too much at times. Luckily everyone handled it the same. They understand these things happen. But I just still can’t get past it. I feel like everyone sees his face and assumes I’m such a bad mom to let this happen to him. And then every time I see his face it’s a reminder of what I let happen. I wish I could take all the pain and discomfort away.On a side note, any recommendations on what I should put on his nose? The doctor gave me Bactrim ointment but I read to try aquaphor too. And does anyone know how well rug burns heal on baby’s face? I don’t want it to scar or be there too long :( thank you ! via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2MKWKZW
