Almost 11months and not crawling
I posted over a month ago about my baby not crawling and how I was wondering if any other May babies are still not. He’s been exceeding in every area this last month it’s insane to watch it happen before your eyes! He’s sleeping through the night with no milk wake ups! (He was waking 2 times a night 3 weeks ago), he’s in his own bedroom, he can hold his own bottle, he says yes, no, hiya now aswell as mama. Can pull himself to stand, can sit up from lying completely flat. But still no crawling 🫠 he ‘commando crawls’ and he has recently been getting himself into his knees but he just keeps flopping down. I don’t know if it’s because he knows he can get around that way so doesn’t bother trying any other way but I am now getting concerned. I don’t want to bother a health visitor as I know they will just say ‘he will do it when he’s ready’ and I know he will but the problem is he is ready! He is extremely difficult at the moment as he knows he wants to do something but can’t. How can help him?? He seems to be really struggling 🥲

Our baby commando crawled for ages. Then suddenly one day he starting crawling normally. We think it was due to the fact we have laminate flooring, as we laid mats down and now he crawls normally all the time x
we have laminate as well! But I bought a huge mat and he still can’t do it, I’ve stripped him off so he can get better grib nothing seems to work 🥲 I’m only worried incase it’s something to do with his muscles or strength x
My daughter army crawled for nearly 4 months before all fours crawling they only thing I read was having them play on their knees helps get them ready
My daughters exactly the same, 11 months on friday and only ever army crawls and also isn’t standing, I honestly wouldn’t worry, my mum told me I never crawled as a baby! X
Wouldn’t worry. I’ve read a lot on here & elsewhere that babies can’t do everything at once so the fact yours is excelling in all those other areas is delaying the crawling skill.
My lo is just turned 11 months and is such a good mover, super fast crawler and stands up but he only says one word (dada), doesn’t hold own bottle and doesn’t sleep through.
They have just learnt different skills at different times & yes if he’s found a way to manoeuvre around and knows it works he might just be sticking with it 😄X
this is my little boy too! My little boy isn’t pulling himself up either yet xx
Commando crawling still means he’s getting around fine my son loved it too but I’m telling you just over night he figured it out I was worried too . Your baby is mastering a lot x
