Question
My baby is 13 months old and always falls while walking. Is this a normal phenomenon? What might be the reasons for such a situation?
Answer
It’s normal for babies to fall frequently as they learn to walk, as they are in the process of mastering balance. However, if the frequency of falls is unusually high, possible reasons include inadequate muscle coordination, lack of balance, and calcium deficiency. It is recommended that parents take their baby to the hospital for a check-up and provide appropriate exercise and nutritional supplements in daily life.
