I’d say anything they seem to want to get their hands on even if they shouldn’t, for us it was the dogs ball xx

My baby learnt to crawl by following the dog 😂
If you find anything that your baby is excited by, keep moving it just out of reach. It does take time and ultimately you can't rush the process.
Some babies end up skipping the crawling stage all together and walk 😅

Put something in front of your little one that they’re not supposed to have 😂 it sounds stupid but like I used my phone or my glasses as I never let her touch them and she always wants to. Obvs don’t let the little one get to it but keep moving it further x

Do you mind me asking as I keep seeing posts like this, why do you want to encourage them to crawl 😂 I feel like once she starts its gameover for the next 3 years of constantly running after my baby/stopping her touching things?? 😂🙈

honestly it’s been a game changer for me! He’s so much happier since being able to move and actually has some independence now! He will finally play alone, just shut the doors and let him roam around 😂

awh thats fab to hear thank you!!

just like Kirsty said they want to move, mine was trying everything 😂 rolling about trying to get to toys so if I didn’t help her it would have been a bit of disservice on my part I think. Plus before she was using her head like a hammer trying to move😂😂 she would head butt and push up so now I feel like she knows how to do it safer xx
