Leo Fernando - only 23 months old - plummeted on to a concrete patio but miraculously was barely hurt. His only injuries were a cut knee and grazed forehead.
Leo had been playing with brother Jayhan and his father Antony when he suddenly sprinted over to the window, jumped on the bed and bounced himself outside.
Antony tried to grab Leo who catapulted himself through the air, 'The Sun' reported.
Antony missed and the boy's frantic mother Emma heard him shrieking: "Oh my God, Leo's fallen out of the window."
"I snatched him up and hugged him as my mum called the ambulance. I was wiping the blood out of his eyes when the paramedics arrived," she added.
Leo was rushed to hospital for X-rays - which amazingly revealed no broken bones.
"The nurses said what saved his life was that he wasn't scared - and didn't stiffen up when he fell. He also bounced off the lower window sill, which broke his fall a bit," Emma said.
