Toddler Falling Down Carpeted Stairs

I was not a fan of carpeting before moving into my current home where the stuff covers two stairwells and the whole second floor.

Toddler falling down carpeted stairs.

My 2 year old fell down the stairs today at a birthday party right in front of my eyes. My daughter fell down stairs too. My husband and my 13 year old son flew to the stairs but weren t able to catch him. He is fine but i am not.

He has some lumps and carpet burn on his head but that seems to the be the extent. He went down two steps on his tummy onto a landing lost his footing and tumbled the rest of the way down. Rolled down them like a movie stunt man and hit the floor at the bottom. Because my 11 year old step daughter left the gate open.

Do you think safety at home is important. My heart stood still. I keep replaying it in my mind and crying. I m even more of a detractor now that it has caused me to fall three times on the stairs with the most recent incident on monday drawing some blood i m not an especially clumsy person.

My 14 month old fell down stairs four days ago and im still so freaked out he cried right away and is fine except for a carpet burn on his right eye and nose but the guilt and shame you feel as a parent is unbelieveable im still having nightmares and i will never forget the noise of hearing my baby fall down stairs like other parents i. Hi mamas i really need support. Kids have accidents no matter how much we put in their path to prevent them. I screamed when i saw him go over the first step.
