Is it normal for a babies walking to be very unbalanced after illness?

My baby 12 months, is just getting over an ear infection, tonsilitis and sick bug.

He has been walking well for about a month however since being unwell has become very clumsy! Bless him!

Should I be worried?

Ear infections often make you off balance, he will be fine when fully recovered.

Ears control balance so it's not surprising. But it might be worth getting him checked out.

He sleeps all the time at the moment. After 12 hours last night, he slept for another 5 this morning, then 2 hours this after noon. He has really been run down with all these bugs!

Sleep is good, however if he has finidhes his course of antibiotics I would get him seen to, just for peace of mind.
