We have recently seen an increase in head injuries for babies under 12 months.

Young children’s heads are heavier than their bodies, which makes them top-heavy. This means they can topple easily and, when they land, their head takes much of the impact.

They’re also changing rapidly. Suddenly they’re rolling, on the move or climbing when the day before they weren’t. This often takes busy parents by surprise.
