I was surprised to read today that the president of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics and Professor of Pediatrics CEU San Pablo University, Dr. Alfonso Delgado states that fourteen children die accidentally every day in the European Union and 43 percent of the events are They produce at home. As far as babies are concerned, it has also explained 24,000 Spanish children every year suffer domestic accidents due to falls, and it is also significant that 79 percent are children under one year old, especially when it comes to falls from the changing table .
That's why I wanted to ask you if your baby has ever dropped you, of the arms or when you have left it on a changing table or another surface.
The truth is, I have to confess that if I dropped once, when I left it on the couch, and rolled for the first time while I took the diaper that was a meter away from him. Nothing happened to him, but I almost died of fear upon hearing him fall and cry immediately.
I can't remember well. I felt so scared and guilty for losing sight of it that it never happened to me again. Before changing it, I always had everything at hand, I kept holding it with one hand while doing what was necessary, not taking an eye. In fact, although I had not dropped the changer, I no longer wanted to use it, just thinking that I could get dizzy and leave it alone even.
You can not miss a moment of sight, or in the bathroom or when care on surfaces that may fall. A blow to the head or body may be somewhat mild, but also something that has very serious consequences. These are indispensable security measures that we should always keep in mind. To help other families to be aware of the dangers that a simple moment of dismissal may have, I would like to encourage you to tell us if your baby has ever dropped you.
