Super Kid

Kid is awesome.

Happened to one of my nephews. Broke his femur... He's fine now, but man that was terrifying.
SkeletorXD
There's a buckle on the changing table for a reason.

Kid tapped into his dad reflexes early way to go little man

monster dad reflexes, right there

Big brother reflexes
vurcease
He’s got a bright future of cargo shorts and Hawaiian shirts ahead of him.

Some perfect people in the comments section.

I never had any babies but one thing I've learned is that they're always trying to find a way to die
OrionRed
And they get smarter over time, and more mobile.
Seawolff81
This is why we're changing our baby on the floor
SlutAtNight
It doesn’t even have any side barriers!!
nero4ty2
i've never seen one that does
QUOLL37
Adult was massively negligent in leaving the baby unsupervised in that position.
amb1021
And then she grabbed that kid for a hug, too. Very sweet.
th3rdWorld
Yes yes record your lives so your tiny normal mistakes become terrible injustices for the internet to punish you forever. 1/2
Don't worry CPS will take your children and put them in the system because clearly that is an unsafe environment for children. 2/2
I find it positive how quick the little guy reacted to catch the baby.
dazzle8124

jshuest91
Former early childhood worker. This is exactly why we had a policy of having 1 hand on the child at all times while on the changing mat.
sirmixanaverageamount
As a parent, this is my policy too, it just makes sense
dogbeachesarethebestbeaches
Or make the entire floor of elastic catch-netting
tecryder
I used to change my babies on the floor.
DarkConspirator
Yes. Everytime i see this it pisses me off. Dont turn away from the kid. You never know when they will roll over.
Zephyr86
Or a fence around the bed. A mini crib if you will.
TheYoungerChrisEvans
Use your telekinesis to place a force field around the table
Obviously

Great kid
kholli
Babies and toddlers are all suicidal little maniacs.
BIC777
I got dropped on my head as a child and I turned out ok...ish.
AeEvolution
Is that a panda?
originfoomanchu1
That's why you for one don't put babies on a flat high surface and 2 don't leave a baby unattended
RigoryMorty
It doesn't look flat, it looks U-shaped.
Sorry mr pedantic Not my point at all a baby that can roll over on a almost flat surface is idiotic
JustTheTip88
Our second kid squirmed so much we just changed her on the floor. Lot safer but a lot harder on the back.
Einbrecher
Floor...bed...couch...all of it was way easier to manage than doing it on the actual changing table.
githigigithiglz
Always remove the changing table when they start to roll... can't fall off the floor lol
GiveMeCorndogOrGiveMeDeath
i think most parents drop their babies ONCE. Mine was off the couch onto carpeted floor, but still terrifying.
Styxwash
I just thought of a great invention - Babyfall proofed floors.
DanCutter
Please put railings on your changing table or have a preemptive hysterectomy. Your choice.

Yes and that is why I get treats.

I also appreciate that parent Immediately reaches out to the older child. Yes, big scary, possibly loud, rxn & you did perfectly, kidlet.
The way they back up, you can see the uncertainty while trying to process what was probably just "AAAHHH!" f/ the parent.
Shit sitch, good analysis of All kids
oiikeg1i
Older brother from now until forever more “I’ve been saving your ass since before you could even talk”
Jetdrag
Easy to judge when you weren't there. We can't see what's happening out of frame.
dank69
Short of being threatened at gunpoint, I can't think of a valid excuse.
ineedtotalkaboutsomethings
Plenty of good reasons. New parents, especially mothers, are often sleep deprived. Could be an honest mistake.
TankTrain
I think you underestimate just how bad sleep deprivation really is.
As a parent of 2, no I don't
daromander
Are you a single parent?
Welverein
The second twin disturbed her. You see their legs and shadow top right at the beginning
2 cribs dipshit - easily could have been the other kid getting into something while she's focused on the one on the changing table.
and they could easily have picked the baby up
To some asshole in the peanut gallery, yeah, it's clear. To someone who's likely sleep deprived and tracking 3 kids at once? Fuck you.
as someone with 3 little kids that maybe gets a couple hours of sleep at a time, it's the number one rule when changing a diaper
yallmfsneedjesus
2 cribs, twins. Other one is out of frame doing God knows. 3 kids (or more), sleep deprived, carrying the 'mental load' for the family.
SilentHowling
Did you know small babies wake up about every 2 hrs for months? Every 2hrs. Think what that does to a sleep schedule. 1/2
Add the effect of your body being a mobile milk factory to the mix as well. It's rough. 2/2
No, as a parent of 2 I did not know that...
AidanPrydeCork
good catch but absolutely the fault of the mother/childminder
HardDoseOfReality
Not really, remember, " life uhh find a way" as fallable humans and not gods we can't keep an eye and our minds on every last thing
ImNotReallyADoctor
Childminder? Sounds like a telepath for childrens
PapaSez
We never left ours on a surface like that, but im honestly more shocked it doesn't have rails or something.
shawberry
Especially bc i have seen videos like this, Ive never walked away from the changing table, BUT accidents happen so fast ever when you're >
Right there
Not going to blame the other baby that's not in view but the second crib is for that definitely distracted mom from their sibling?
LizLemonDifficult
*parent/childminder
beejep
Man, it happens to the best of us. Looking after a child is unrelenting (let alone 2)
Been there, done that. Mine is 9 now.
VitaminBeaPositive
While correct, postpartum depression/anxiety is a BIIIIIIIITCH and nobody talks about how much it clouds perception and focus.
Betelgeuse7777
Not to mention the extremeack of sleep
My kid was born 7 days into the pandemic and we are geographically isolated, it was MONTHS before either of us were remotely functional.
Thankfully our kid didn't fall off the changing table, but we had our own close calls. Parents of young kids need serious help.
CaptMinion
You should never turn your back on a kid in that situation. Doesn't matter if your kid has never tried rolling.
mrbellek
This kid obviously rolled before, his movement is very confident
I wouldn't turn my back on a kid in any situation. I know about that Children of the Corn shit
Nerfgunner
They see him rollin', they hatin'
JobbyJabber24
Well I'm glad your clearly all much better parents than this fellow human.
jambalaja

I'm surprised of the baby changing table without borders. It would be illegal to sell in France.
It's U-shaped, so it kinda does.
TeeweeAndSmashboy
Seems to work for those doctors eh.
Acc87
All tables I see for sale have borders on the side, but not at the front, as in this here could still have happened.
JunkFoodVanDame
German here. We dont have them 'borders' to prevent that. And we are the Master Paragraph overlords. Did I say Master? Thats on me.
fingobaggins
Change Table Sans Frontieres
just curious, is there a fence around all sides of the table? isn't that difficult to change them in?
The "normal" one in France has 3 borders, no border for the feet. You face the feet, not the side of the baby. Baby head is the closest
to the wall and still has a border (not the side of the baby like in this post). Idk about other countries :s
interesting, but sounds like a huge pain to change a baby in, thanks for the info!
https://www.alfredetcompagnie.com/table-a-langer/44-table-a-langer-blanc.html example in France, obviously not the same in other countries.
lausianne
I built one myself, with exactly this situation in mind. also easier to change diapers when facing feet.
FierceAndAdorable
Might be home made
Katusa
No. All of the changing tables I've seen or had in my house are like that.
What country are you in?
Btch128
Yea I've never seen one not like the one in the video. US as well
USA
A lot of judgey people without kids on here. Yeah it's a mistake people aren't machines. Babies don't move until they suddenly do 1/2
I've been there, my Son is 9 now. This never happened to me. I am happy nothing happened. But come on, you know babys are unpredictable. 1/2
If you have 2 (or more), take one out out of the Crib, do the Diapers, put it back, take the next. 2/2
I am generally judgy and don't have kids and I think this definitely goes in the "nobody's perfect" category. Happy nobody got hurt.
THIS. Its really easy to see that coming in a GIF where that's all that happens. Raise some injury free kids then you can judge. SMH
I have, my Son is 9 years and the only "Injury" he has/had was/is a nosebleed when he puts his finger in his nose to dig for gold. ^^
ADDGirl
Your kid has never skinned a knee? Gotten a goose egg from running into something? That's very odd. Are they allowed outside?
If you call that injury, sure, ofc. Personally I wouldnt call a bruise or a skinned knee an injury though.
InnocentValley
Wow. 9 years. Man I had already been to hospital due to trauma injuries like.. 9 times by that age. And girls are supposed to be less >
> destructive or so I heard. 9 years, that's amazing. I managed 2,5 with mine, stuck a pea up her nose which later turned out to be a stone.
some times with dangerous results. Avoid if you can, save if you can. Focus on the hero kid not pointing the blame finger 2/?
Because I guarantee that mom is worse on herself than you could or *should* be. 3/3
GreyNotGray
Word.
RedWingedBlackbirds
I love that she pulls the kid doing the saving in for a hug at the end

Wow, without your comment I would have never guessed whose fault it was by blatantly turn away from the infant

Big mistake. That said, good parents do make mistakes and the pressures of caring for infants affect the best of brains.
merlos
Exactly!
uplookdont
Yeah but various simple design solutions could avoid this almost every time
smilingfishstudios
Amen.
Elvirana
also from the two beds it looks like they have twins. That's even worse exhaustion wise
Me pretty much every 5 minutes now that my twins are almost 3.
myputtanescaisbetter
There can never be enough up votes for this comment.
turdly
Not to mention the toll of exhaustion on the parents.
sSommy
And there's 2 identical cribs, and older kiddo looks too old for the crib, so my first thought was "twins".
You see the feet of the other twin on top right at the beginning. She turn to handle them, and the second one rolled on the table
TawdryArt
Some side rails on that changing table would absolutely help. Mine has them. Makes all the difference.
itsallaboutthecones
Yuuuuup. Have a set myself about the age of the infant in the video. It can be exhausting. Them rolling off something is a huge fear.
Iloveanonymityandilovebeingnoticed
Wait til they start climbing and can’t get down. Or my 18m just started actively trying to drown herself. Thought it was fun to slide down>
danrrpalade
Yeah, but that's such a novice mistake. I don't think that is the mother if she has one more child. Or maybe she just didn't learn the lesso
Tell us you've never had to care for a baby/toddler long term without saying...
Wow, this wasn't very smart, or funny. I have two kids and I am the one who always changes the diaper.
Which just makes you an asshole, b/c as a parent, you should also understand that these mistakes happen no matter how careful you are.
funkwumasta
This isn't a small mistake though. That is serious risk of injury/death. There's a reason these tables have restraints.
Absolutely, it's serious, but these things happen even to the most careful parents. It's only judgement-worthy if it happens repeatedly.
OtterAvalanche
Dude... I've have been so completely and utterly exhausted from having a sick baby that I was down to minimum function/auto pilot.
I know some people who just flat out don't remember the first year with their kid cos it was so overwhelmingly exhausting.
Exactly! I'm not saying it wasn't irresponsible but like...having been a parent of a kid in diapers... I get it. Mistakes happen.
Yeah, i can understand that.
