Full-Scorpion Mode
If your child is already eight months old, you should know that they already have the ability to toss themselves off of changing tables. Babies are a lot stronger than we think they are, but that doesn’t mean you should let them fall from waist height and drop onto the hard, hard floor.
The OP saw that their child was slowly creeping to the edge of the changing table, but it was far too late to do anything. The baby fell and landed on their face with their legs going back like a scorpion tail. And that’s when the waterworks started, both from the child and the parent.
