He's been walking for about a month but still falls very often. Is this much falling normal, or does he have a balance problem?

For a baby who's been walking for about a month, frequent falling is considered normal. What we call walking is actually a wobbly, wide-legged progress with frequent falls in the first months. Each time babies fall, they develop balance muscles, reaction times, and reflexes to cushion their falls. Until they get really steady, several more months of uneven walking with frequent tumbles is typical.
When should you worry? If balance doesn't improve even after 6 months, if there's visible asymmetry like crossing legs or dragging feet, or if your child is close to age 3 and still falls frequently without obstacles, you can consult a pediatrician or child development specialist. But for the first month of walking, this is completely typical.
