It happens mate - kids are like rubber though. Your wife is going to beat herself up but just reassure her that the fact she’s tormenting herself about it speaks far more about her parenting than the fact an accident happened
Happens all the time

If they were that fragile humanity would either be extinct or all work for Uncle D
You’re officially now a parent. It happens and it’s the worse feeling in the planet but don’t beat yourself up. Kids are really sponges
If he ever screams again, it’s over.
The fact that you are both so troubled by what happened shows that you sincerely care, which already makes you some of the better parents out there. I’ve seen many other parents not bat an eye letting their kids run into the street, jump into the pool when they can’t swim, eat food off the dirty floor, …
This is minor, be thankful nothing serious happened, and let this be an example of how invested you guys are in your child’s well being. 👍
When my son was a toddler I took him out to eat at a restaurant. Stupid me didn’t put him in a high chair, the restaurant didn’t seem to have one so settled to have him sit in a regular chair. He was a year and half just learned to walk AND he fell head first, I jumped and pick him up, nothing swollen or anything but he cried a bit. From that day on I became more aware of his surroundings and better anticipate dangers, thankfully he is a well-adjusted teen now.
Happened to every parent in one way or another.
Thanks all. These have been great to show my wife.
First kid? We used to feel the same way and worry about everything with the first. Second kid comes along and I just super glue his head back together to avoid another wait in the ER. You are not the worst.
Did you at least gaslight him into believing it was his fault? They don't teach real parenting skills anymore..
Happens. Kid is ok, no big deal.
Our youngest had to get 3 stitches on his forehead from a botched handover from me to my Wife when she was going to feed him in the middle of the night. Still remember it, he’s got a little scar but that’s life. You protect them as best you can and if a cut or a skinned knee is the worst that happens you are doing well.
This kid ended up being Harry Potter
Do not beat yourself up. It was a mistake and it happens. Had similar experience and reaction.
Hope you all feel okay. Similar things have happened. So long as there is no pain or swelling or fever, babies recover quick. Monitor for 36 hours and talk to triage nurse for guidance. We have all learnt and built in checks along the way. Take care
The good news: the older your kid gets, the higher the threshold they can fall from before the doctor cares. I was concerned when my 3 year old fell from 3 feet, but apparently by the time they’re three, they can fall from 6 feet without going to the doctor.
TLDR kids are very resilient.
I think you need to watch that Modern family episode to get comfortable. I’ve dropped my niece on a hard stone floor, my kids bumped skulls, and worse. Still cringe but all 3 turned out ok (or they look like it? Who knows 🤣)
My kid fell face first off the couch recently. Kids are resilient and they bounce back.
It does suck but you remember more than the kid ever will. If it’s the first drop or incident at 10 months, you two are crushing it
Happens to all of us just monitor and do the best you can.
So sorry you're having this experience, it hits everyone sooner or later. The fact that you and your wife care this much proves you're not failing as parents. FWIW, my parents were wonderful people who deeply cared about all of our kids. When I was 18 months old, I toddled out of eyesight near an open campfire, and I tripped and fell into it. I had third-degree burns on arms and hands. (thankfully I have neither memories nor really any scars or damage of the event) Like others have said, it happens to even 'good' parents.
I was racing with a stroller at Disney and hit a crack on the concrete … enough said. Kids are tough.
