DS is two in two weeks, he's been walking for around 11 months.
He falls over almost constantly.
He runs so fast, he goes face first lots. He also just randomly trips on nothing whilst walking about slowly indoors. Shoes or no shoes. Grass, pavement, carpet, wooden floor. No difference. Just constantly on the floor. At first I thought this was normal as he just learnt to walk, but a year on it shouldn't be this bad should it? He also walks into doors and door frames too..
He's seeing a paediatrician due to speech delay, lack of communication etc and when we first saw him around 15months old he asked me if he was clumsy, and I said yes, but he's only just learnt to walk in last few months. As its no better I'm assuming it is a sign of something? Originally we were thinking autism due to lots of things, but then verbal dyspraxia looked like it could fit, and I wonder what the clumsiness could be, if it's anything...
How often do your toddlers fall over? Those that have been walking for around a year?
