Caden can pull himself up to stand now and he falls over SO much, how long did it take your baby to figure out they cant just let go and that they need to lower them selves down. He has bumps and a scratch on his head from falling over, and he ALWAYS hits his head on another toy, no matter how hard I try to move things away from him!!
And he stands in his cot now aswell and when he falls hits his head on the bars Stressssss lol  lol------------- |

Oh I remember that stage well Sheena! Harry just eventually (after many, many bumps and bruises) to lower himself down carefully (so cute, the butt sticking out). There's not too much you can do, except catch him occasionally if it looks like he's going to really hurt himself.
Man he's standing early!! Harry was 8 1/2 months before he managed that! ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

| What about one of those soft linings for over the cot rail at the top? Not sure what to do about the other times. It just one of those things they go through. |

He will learn fairly quickly at that age. It took at least a good month for my 5mo to get itr but the others (at 8mos) were faster. -------------  |

And they always manage to bang themselves in the one spot too!
My DH used to stress about brain injury but there has been no bad effects of all the head crashing! Just keep some arnica on hand  ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

Josh is forever falling but he gets over it moves on until he does it again he is forever getting new bruises but its not dangerous its just what kids do while they learn (especially when they try to run and are still getting the hang of walking).
Cant wrap them in bubble wrap 24/7  -------------

how about when you've got twins and one of them decides to use their sisters head as support to stand up. *splat* into the floor  
Aoife was like that too, she learned the hard way on how to get down from standing up. Eimear however, learned from Aoifes mistakes and took a lot more caution. |
