Rolling instead of crawling

Is anyone else’s baby not crawling yet? My little boy has always hated tummy time and he was a late roller, but now he has the hang of rolling he will roll everywhere instead of crawling 😅 We have plenty of ‘floor time’ where I’ll lay out toys etc out of reach but he will roll in a full circle rather than crawl to them 🤣 I’m not overly concerned as I know crawling is a wide milestone but I would like to see him crawling soon if anyone has any tips on how to get him going? Thanks!

I would just leave him too it. My boy rolled everywhere but now he learnt how to crawl but it’s more like an army crawl he can’t go on all fours yet. He learnt him self to do that he also walks everywhere in a walker now. My boy is nearly 8months though x think they just learn how to do stuff in there own time but if your one is rolling now it won’t be long until he’s crawling x

@Rose I’m hoping he’s going to figure it out soon, he much prefers being held up to stand or in his walker so he may skip it all together but he’s frustrated because he wants to go he just can’t quite yet 🤣 x

@Lauren yeah I get you. I just left my boy to do it himself I dunno what made him start crawling the way he does lol I first noticed it on the bed but he wouldn’t do it on the floor but now he’s doing it all over the floor so think he preferred doing it on something soft first. My boy does prefer his walker now though since getting it he can get places faster my boy won’t put weight on his legs if he is held or he can’t sit on the floor it’s weird as he can sit very well in his chairs and stuff without leaning back lol x

Yes, us! She will be 10 months old on the 17th and she would rather roll all over the floor instead. Feel like I could have written this myself xx

Yep 🙋🏻‍♀️ 9 months, zero crawling.

Only thing that helped encourage my first was things directly in front of her, made it harder basically for her to roll 😂

My boy rolls everywhere too. Hell put one leg up as if he is about to push himelf forward.... But then just rolls away 😂 My first never crawled, bum shuffled everywhere then started walking at about 14m

@Faye mine will be 10 months on 13th so not much between! It’s good to know it’s not just your baby isn’t it 🤣 you see all these babies crawling all over and mine literally just loves a rolly polly from one side of the room to the other 🤣 xx

@Bobbie Wilson haha! I try that and he literally just rolls in a full circle instead of crawling forward 🤣🤣 I’m sure it’ll come!

Yes 9 months .. zero crawling 🤣🤣🤣
