How often did your baby bop his head when he was cruising around ? Elijah bops his head about twice a day and no matter how careful we are it still happens.

I know baby's are really resistant to falling but it makes such an awful sound!

Thanks,

Johnny and Elijah

lol Izzy is a full on walker/runner/bulldozer and she bops her head loads!

we have had loads of bops since cruising, thankfully as shes getting steadier there are fewer but still about 3 a day.

Thomas is never without some sort of bruise/egg on his head - even now.

Hannah is constantly falling and bumping herself.

I voted countless - please don't phone SS

Both my boys banged their bonces loads! Not too mention all the other body parts that were bashed too! They were worse during growth spurts! It doesn't get any better either! Jake is covered in bruises from football and Aron from climbing trees!!

Same here! Lol

I couldnt possibly but a number on it! Loads lol xx

hahaha aww how reassuring! it sounds like we are actually doing quite well to keep it to a few a day so far we didn't really expect his to get so mobile so quickly! x mari

definatly countless as she is so bloomin clumsey and thats not changed as she has got bigger at the moment we are sporting a cut above the right eye after a fight with the radiator and radiator won and a whopping bruise above her left eye after she thought she would take on her wooden toy box and she lost that fight too

Amelia's always been pretty careful. She does bop herself but generally not on her head. But she's always got bruises on her legs!

Thomas's legs are a mess Lisa

I get all paranoid about it - he went for his 2 year check up a few weeks back and I was convinced they were gonna think I wasn't looking after him properly or even worse I was hurting him

I'm such a tit!

hahahahaha debs i bet all little monsters' legs are like that! i'm sure they think nothing of it unless you are shifty about it elijah isn't too bruised so far but it's like he is looking for things to throw himself at/under/into

Ellie is constantly bumping her head mainly on the kitchen table as it's ellie height. Plus she's that confident with her walking that she's taken to running everywhere now and often lands in a heap with bumped head! xx

When u say bop their heads i thought u meant bop as in bop'in to the beat and dancing but yeh Taylas bops (in both meanings a LOT!

ive said 4 but thats at least 4 evan falls all the time and has done since he got in his feet!! my mum even suggested taking him to the docs to check he was ok cos he used to fall so often or run into things!!

I have reached the conclusion that Wil's head is made of rubber because most times when he goes clunk he doesn't even flinch. It's only the really big bumps that cause tears.

He probably clouts one bit of his body or another at least 7-8 times a day. Comes from running round like a nutter without looking where you are going.

(he was bad when he was cruising and now he is terrible)

To make you feel better my OH is paranoid Wil is going to give himself brain damage.

Aimee was always banging her head/face when she was the same age as E, to the point where I used to take photos of the bruises when she had done them and sent them to my OH at work so he wasnt shocked when he got home!

She is much better now, but a couple of weeks ago she was dancing and went face first into our glass tv stand, she knocked her front teeth and there was blood everywhere.

sorry ladies, but some of these stories made me laugh terrible i know! but it's so nice to know that everyone's little ones are so full of mishaps and clumsiness elijah's main problem at the moment is he will be happily standing up then see something he likes the look of and just let go, take one step and fall over....at least when he lands on his bum its ok but not so great when it's face-first!

countless hun now he is steadier on his feet its not quite as bad but bumps a plenty lol xx
