My 8 month old is learning to crawl & hes learnt to sit himself up from all fours. He often face plants either from all fours or sitting height. Hes not 100% stable when sitting yet & sometimes topples over.

we have tiled floors in the main part of the house. Ive put down a rug & got him a playmat but those dont cover all the tiles & he likes to go exploring.

Every time he sits himself up on the tiles i freak out hes going to topple over & hit his head. Im even more worried about when he starts walking.

I dont want to wrap him in cotton wool but im worried hes really going to hurt himself, tiles are so unforgiving.

what can i do?
