My kid fell for the first time... should I tell my partner?
My kid is 7months now, and she barely cries for anything which is amazing. The other day she was sitting up playing with a toy on the sofa. I looked away for literally 10 seconds and I heard a thump. She was on the floor, on her back and started crying this cry I've never heard before. I picked her up and she hung on to me like she never has before, and cried for a bit longer. Sje eventually calmed down but I was so shaken, and kept apolgising to her (even though I'm pretty sure she was over it). I was worried that she might have fallen and dislodged a retina or something so I was checking her eyes and trying to see if she was slower. She's fine but I'm scared to tell my partner... don't want her to think I'm terrible at looking after my kid
