I tempted my girl with a bottle haha

What kind of floors do you have?

my girls just always on the floor with her toys. she started crawling last Wednesday trying to get a slipper 😂

Bribe them with toys, put them on all fours and rock their body back and forth so they get used to the motion.

@Elle carpet and hardwood in the kitchen

Maybe he just lazy he starts crying 😭😭

@Yvette my baby does too. she hates being on her tummy because of reflux. but as soon as i put her in her playpen and walk away for a minute, i always find her on her tummy across the playpen. so i know she can do it.

My son always for the most part wanted to be in the floor. To encourage crawling i used to prop him up on his knees and play for a little bit each day. Now he's fully crawling. But always remember every baby is different and work at their own pace

Ideally they should learn to prop themselves up while sitting, and hold their bodies in a crawl position. Also the longer you keep them in a walker or bouncer the less likely they’ll want to crawl early and go straight to wanting to walk (this is bad for development of coordination) my sister is a pediatric OT and taught me a few tricks but know that every baby is different!
