My son is 9.5 months has been crawling for the last few days and is also loving pulling up on furniture and he keeps falling into furniture he’s pulled up on. Or he falls back and bumps his head that way. It’s been 4 days and he’s had a head bump a day already and I’m with him each time just don’t catch him in time or he goes another direction. Is this just something that I just accept and try to reduce the risk as much as possible or are there other options?

we just had a foam/padded mat. they learn v quickly to fall on their bum and it is a part of learning. my LO fell a couple times and then started to bend his knees to fall on his bum or would get down before

I was terrified with my first every bump I was panicking.
With my second. (He’s two now) and still falls over more than he’s upright 😅
You learn to reduce risk as much as possible but also accept it is going to happen. You’ll know if you need to be concerned or not. Children are very resilient x

Doing practice going up and down, like showing them how to manoeuvre with their arms and sit / squat - otherwise very much a lesson they learn x
