Anyone else’s LO constantly falling over or tripping

I honestly feel like the worst mum. Partner is currently away and my little one just keeps doing silly things and I’m getting so upset. Normally she can get on and off our bed, today I’ve put my clothes in the wardrobe and she’s on the fall from falling off the bed. The other day she tripped the step of the back door and fell onto the floor in the garden. I was in front and her brother was behind her. I just feel she’s going to really injure herself and be my fault, my mum says it’s normal they are growing up and they will fall/trip but I feel like it happens when she’s with me. But I am with her the majority of the day where my partner isn’t

We have days where it seems like it’s one accident after the other 😅. I’ve said I don’t think it will be long until he has a broken bone! He already has a scar from a cracked head 🥲. They are just 100mph and there’s no stopping them half the time. Definitely not a bad mum! They are learning and growing and accidents will happen. We can’t bubble wrap them and they need to be given the space and freedom to explore in order to build confidence in themselves

@Amelia oh bless your little one. They really are 100ph wanting to do everything themselves. But when it happens in my car I feel like it’s my fault my eyes should be there 100% of the time. I literally just turned to put the dresses in the wardrobe and it’s right next to the bed x

Mine definitely goes through 'danger baby' phases where he's throwing himself at the ground constantly. The worst was a couple of weeks ago when he was perfecting his running. I agree with Amelia, it's just part of their learning, they'll (hopefully) get better at judging their own capabilities soon 😅
