A member asked:
16-month old started to walk few weeks earlier. after walking 6 yards or so will fall down. in one episode an injury to the nose. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Learning to walk requires a bit of falling. The process is one of the innate incentives not to move too fast until you master your balance. Most lacerated chins occur about this time as kids hit the edge of a coffee table or similar object.
