Question
A 16-month-old child often falls, more than twenty times a day. Other children of the same age do not have this issue. I am worried and don’t know if something is missing. The previous treatment and outcomes: Not particularly concerned. What detailed checks are needed? I’m not very clear about this.
Answer
This situation is often normal as the brain is not yet fully developed, leading to poor balance. Parents are advised to be more vigilant to prevent the child from injuring their head and to observe for other issues, such as language ability or walking posture. If you are still concerned, consider visiting the hospital for a detailed check-up. These are my suggestions for the question of “What to do if a 16-month-old child always falls.” I hope this helps you, and wish you health!
