Crawling!
Show your support
My lad has been going nursery since 6 months, he is now 9 months and hardly even rolls! He started to roll then stopped for weeks and after lots of encouraging and trying Timmy time again (only 15 mins-30 mins a day not all at once) he is rolling very selective again. I wonder how I will get him to roll or crawl etc. He isn't a fan of tummy time but is an amazing sitter. He sits and plays with his toys. I guess they get there when they do. I was told some skip rolling and crawling and go for walking
@Nina same! Mine will sit and play with his toys happily
I use to put her toys just out of reach so she had to lean forward and stretch out to get them. We had a long period of her being on all 4s and rocking before she she began crawling and now she is off everywhere and wants to stand up
My first baby would bum shuffle from about 10 months, didn't crawl until the week before she turned 1 and didn't walk until 18 months! She is absolutely fine developmentally now. My second baby is crawling now and honestly, it was much easier with my first! They all do it at their own pace and it's perfectly normal not to be crawling at this age x
@Liza how long was yours in the phase of all 4’s but not yet moving? Ours has been sitting really well since 5 months and sits happily to play with toys, but the past week or so she’s been leaning forward sometimes into crawling position and seems to get really frustrated that she can’t quite go yet
My girl is 9 months and still not crawling, my son crawled at 7 months before he could even sit up. It’ll happen xx
@Allie at least 3 weeks she was getting more and more frustrated each time with herself. One morning we were just relaxing in the front room and out the corner of my eye I just saw her move forwards a tiny bit by the end of that day she was following us around
8.5 months my little one was just sitting and and sort of rocking on his knees (I looked on Instagram for tips on how to help them crawl when they don't like tummy time) then literally one day just decided to be off he's 9 months 11 days now and doesn't stay bloody still and wants to be standing up all the time having said that I think thwy just do it when they are ready. It may be that crawling gets skipped. If try not to worry too much as once they start it's a battle 🤣🤣
My first started crawling properly around 10 months. She’ll get there, but encouraging plenty of floor time on her tummy will probably help. Don’t stress 😊
@Samantha it is crazy how quickly after they can crawl that they want to stand up.
The remote/keys/phones just out of reach (anything she’s not allowed) got mine to move 🤣
She will do it when she's ready. Some babies don't crawl until much later. My boy is 8.5 months and not crawling, he just sits there playing with his toys. He's always hated tummy time. Apparently babies that hate tummy time do bum shuffling not standard crawling. We'll see!
