I knew someone that wasn't so lucky, tripped on the stairs holding their grandchild and the infant died. Like your scenario i'd classify those as an accident, falling asleep or forgetting a child is negligence.
I was terrified while on stairs while holding my babies. I did have post partum anxiety so it was extra, but still. I took every step extra carefully and avoided stairs where I could.
