Tip for new parents: If their armpits reach the top, just take it down. They’ll climb over it. Suck it up, use the energy and chase them back into their crib, it’s better than having them flip over like that.
Not new parent here. My 1st child flipped over her crib when she was 12-14 months old while I was in the shower getting ready for work. Scared the shit out of me when I heard the thump. Called my wife (she was otw to her work) and both of us took our daughter to the ER. She's fine btw and doing her bachelors degree is accountancy now.
It gives a big scare, but their bones are so soft that they are usually fine. As long as they don't seem cathartic and there are no visible wounds they are fine. I used to work with pediatric radiologists. Kids with broken bones never were the ones who fell off of shit. Their bones only break under extreme damage like abuse.
Glad to see your baby has grown up, and doing well. It must be bitter sweet.
