They say it happens to everyone at some point

Amy fell off the table this morning while Stella was changing her nappy. She initially refused to be consoled but later accepted Stella's breast and fell asleep for a while.

Stella was rather distraught; I stayed calm since I've heard that babies are remarkably resilient. (I wasn't there when it happened; she called me at work.)

She called the pædiatrician and they suggested she bring Amy in; they looked at her and pronounced her pupils and her reflexes normal and the bump on the head wasn't anything unusual, either. Stella was to observe her for 24 hours and if she doesn't throw up or appear apathetic during that time, she's probably fine.

They seem to be fine now, fortunately.

Oh good... =)

Yes. But as you say, I imagine that Stella may have suffered more from the entire experience.

Yeah, I imagine so. Tell her she's a good mother, for me =)
