I just want her to crawl

Its becoming very exhausting trying to do tummy time with her and she's rolling everywhere but I know she wants to but hasn't clicked how to do so, I've tried lifting her up with a blanket on all 4's and she's just getting so frustrated with herself and when I do try to help shes planting her feet into the floor and trying to stand

Mine learnt to army crawl on my bed first, few days later she was comfortable on her mat. So I would try doing it on sofa/bed first, for example put something she really likes further away to make her try get it.

My little guy army crawls and gets around everywhere but not on all 4s crawling. He rocks back and forth though so he really wants too, and does push ups now lol. I get worried too but he had ankle surgery when he was a newborn and was in full leg casts at 12 days old (for 3 months) so I’m trying not to compare him to any other babies as he’s been through more than a majority of babies would. I just know playgroup will be so much more fun for him when he’s scooting around properly. They’ll get there though! Some babies skip crawling and start walking. All we can do is let them practice and crawl around with them for them to observe. I just constantly lift him onto all 4s (even tho he can do it himself) to train his muscles up. Your baby will get there when she is ready for sure!!! YouTube tips are great I just started using them yesterday to help move it along x

@Sera Kay ✨ I'm not worried about her in terms of not crawling, I mean my son didn't crawl till two weeks before his first birthday. It's just very exhausting when you can see her trying push herself up on her hands and her legs aren't doing anything then she starts crying. It's so hard to do tummy time with her now because all she's doing is rolling over, it's a battle to even get a nappy on her now as soon as shes on her back she rolls onto her belly. I don't think she's far off from actually working it out but even then I thought the same with my son lol. I just want her to crawl so she can like kinda follow me around because it's hard to leave a room at the minute because as soon as I do she rolls somewhere and she starts crying if she bonks her head or gets stuck like our living room is absolutely tiny the floor space is about 6feet by 10feet so the small space and my sons toys all over the floor it's quite difficult 😂
