We have a large area rug and carpet in her main play areas, but no fall has fazed her too much. It's really not that far from their head to the floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/protection-against-njuries-from-baby-gymnastics-falls-faceplanting-etc-when-crawling-lol#post-749978 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 09:25:52 +0000 junebugmama 749978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've noticed that over time, all those spill, have made him realize how to stop himself from face planting and if I protected him all of the time, he may have never put those arms out to protect his adorable noggin </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/protection-against-njuries-from-baby-gymnastics-falls-faceplanting-etc-when-crawling-lol#post-749970 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 09:23:45 +0000 sera_87 749970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: lol! I once heard a statistic that babies fall an average of 300 times on the way to walking. Im pretty sure LO is at least halfway there. *roll eyes* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/protection-against-njuries-from-baby-gymnastics-falls-faceplanting-etc-when-crawling-lol#post-749947 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 09:18:40 +0000 travelgirl1 749947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sera_87: Even if she reacts I try to be positive so she knows it's nothing serious but inside my head I'm all "omg what the heck you just landed on your sweet little face! Ahhhhhhh!". Ha ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/protection-against-njuries-from-baby-gymnastics-falls-faceplanting-etc-when-crawling-lol#post-749937 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 09:16:21 +0000 sera_87 749937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only slightly :p</p> <p>I try not to make a big deal of it when LO "hurts" himself. Sometimes if i dont react he doesnt either. Of course, if he's truly hurt he'll cry. Then I snuggle away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/protection-against-njuries-from-baby-gymnastics-falls-faceplanting-etc-when-crawling-lol#post-749924 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 09:11:26 +0000 travelgirl1 749924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do any of you use foam floor tiles or anything to protect their little heads and faces?</p> <p>After 14 weeks stuck on her back, A's smashing the heck out of all the milestones she couldn't start while strapped up and scaring me to death with all her face planting into our rug! I'm wondering whether we need to buy something softer to keep her safe? Or am I being a paranoid first time mama? </p>
