Bumps

I don’t even know what I am expecting, but hopefully I am not the only one. My LO is on the move and is very confident and fast. She is everywhere and I am really struggling to keep eyes on her. I’m very happy that she is developing well, but everyday she has at least 5 bumps on the head which make her really cry. She pulls herself up onto things and falls before I can get there - mostly in her cot!! She also thrashes about and gets so upset when I am trying to change her - this always ends in a few bumps where she throws herself backwards. I feel awful and I don’t know what to do. I get upset every time she hurts herself and I just hate the idea of any long term damage and pain it is possibly causing. I hope I’m not the only one… I feel like a rubbish mum!

You're not a bad mum!! My LO is the same, he's suddenly on the move and he's off, crashing into everything and anything... And still tumbling backwards when he's sitting if he's tired! Our swimming instructor even pointed out his first bruise to the whole class this weekend which made me feel awful! 🙈 it's so upsetting to see them in pain but they're just learning and as long as we're doing all we can to make sure they're exploring safely we're being great mums 🥰 We can't catch them every time they fall, we've just got to pick them up and let them try again! You've got this!! 💗

@Hollie Thank you so much! I really needed this 🙌🏼 I just feel like the worst mum in the world when I don’t get to her in time. There’s only so many times I can pull her down from something. The cries make me feel even worse! Yes, it deffo becomes more frequent when she’s tired. That’s out of order by your swimming instructor??? I’m so sorry to hear that has happened!!

Exactly! It's soooo hard to have them all the time we just can't do it, so they have little bumps and tumbles but I think that's okay it's just learning and prepping them for the future of anything 😂 it was more embarrassing than anything else, like I know he's got a bruise on his head thank you 🙃 Fingers crossed they get less wobbly soon!!!
