Toddler always falling over - clumsy or something else?

[Ismo456]

Ds3 is 15m old. Started walking straight after first birthday so it’s not a new thing. He’s very very clumsy, constantly falls over. He does seem to walk v quickly, almost trying to run. But he does seem to sway around like an old drunk most of the time when he’s moving.
He is covered in injuries. Black eyes, head bumps and bruises, cuts round his eyes.
I know toddlers are always falling and hurting themselves, I just don’t remember my daughters being anywhere near this unsteady.
he is extremely active, always moving and climbing and never sits down, but I am wondering whether this is something to mention to a doctor? I am terrified of what injury he is going to get each day!

I'd get an eye test.

My DS2 was a bit like this, I could never take a nice photo of him because he always had a bruise or bump on his face from falling over head first. He was very active too. He's absolutely fine now, very sporty and still doesn't like sitting still! 15 months is very young to expect him to be steady on his feet, I wouldn't worry about this unless it's still a problem in a few months time.

Shoes the right size? with extra growing room. My son starts falling like mad when his feet are near the end (and I don't mean right at the end)

Yep, and this is barefoot indoors too!

Oh, I didn’t know you could get their eyes tested this young x

Might have 1 weak eye, which can effect depth perception.

Yes you can at the opticians and if they have cause for concern, they can refer your child onto the orthoptist at the hospital. It could be astigmatism which also affects depth perception.
