Bumps in to everything

Flo · Guest

My daughter is 14 months and is just walking well tottering around and I worry because she keeps bumping in to things like the door frame or open doors she will just turn around and bang in to them. I joke saying she should were a boxes head protecter but really i am serious can you get these for babies

Have a word with your dr or health visitor to make sure everything is ok. This is probably just her getting used to balancing or could be a little clumsy, my first child was forever bumping into things...practically everything, she had that many bruises i took her to dr cos i was worried about being accused of abuse, it really was that bad! She was just clumsy and grew out of it.

hi flo,
i have 16month old twins. my boy is so accident prone, he always has bruises on his head. last week, he fell and smacked his head on the radiator, then 15mins later he fell over again and got a black eye. 3 days later he fell over at the park and got a big scab on his head.
my girl isnt accident prone atall, but far more adventrous than her brother! she has falls but seems to break them.

i too, have wondered if you can get head protectors, as im worried about how many knocks my boy takes. at this rate he wont have any braincells left!
