Anyone else's baby constantly faling?

My baby can't do NOTHING without falling/hitting head/ banging foot.
We can't even go out anymore because he falls over and smacks his face rvery single time. He's been walking since 11 months very confident now at 15 months.
Wtf can I do?

I m not sure, but I m wondering about his shoes? Maybe getting him measured again or buying a different kind? My LG is a very confident walker and hadn't fallen for a long time and I then noticed she was clumsier with a pair of new trainers I got her. I replaced them and went back to leather shoes and she s now walking and running confidently again

it's at home too he just runs and trips over anything or walks past the door and bangs his head it's just constant :( his shoes are flat shoes for this reason as I got him bigger trainers and it wad worse ffs x

Oh bless him! Not sure how to help but i think hopefully it will get better soon 😊

Yep exactly the same here, countless injuries in the last week.

Mine is going through a phase like this with or without shoes. I read a growth spurt can throw off their centre of gravity so I'm wondering if it's that

My boy is the same recently

Happens a lot because she doesn't pay attention and trips over stuff! Or doesn't lift foot enough

I meant bigger as in like the Nike ones they're so bulky they were his shoes fir a while. Bought some flat ones for summer but still same issue ffs. Could be his eyes!

My partner also just doesn't get that baby's Fall !! He picks him up and doesn't let him play after 😪🤣

Is it an ear infection? Can cause it!

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

My seven year old

Is out of control. Her dad and I share 50/50 and when she comes to my house she is so mean. And idk what to do

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Bedtime

What time are you getting your LOs down for the night now and how are you finding bedtime? We’ve had the sane routine since my daughter was a few weeks old - bath with her older sister and 6.45, followed by a bottle and ideally in bed by 7.30. This worked at first but over the last few weeks she’s been fighting it a lot and, with the exception of a few days last week which were a lot easier, it’s a bit of a battle to get her down and features a lot of screaming and resettling. Not sure if we are putting her down too early or late? Her last nap is usually a cat nap (30-45 mins) and finishes by 6. She’s pretty good at settling herself from a night feed, but seems to be unable to do it at bedtime, even with her dummy.
