Hi everyone! My 8 month baby boy is not showing signs of crawling at all. He hates being on his stomach we try tummy time and he screams the whole house down, until he’s back on his bum sat up where he’s happy. He will lean onto his hands when sitting up but will not try anything else he won’t try to get onto his knees he will just rock onto his hands and then back up. Does anyone else’s baby not show any interest in crawling/ pulling themselves up yet?🩷

mine did this for months and months! she didn’t start crawling until a day before 9 months out of nowhere! and she walked by 11 months ! now she’s 17 months and wanders round the house like she owns the place 😂

My baby will army crawl and try and crawl on her knees. But has absolutely no interest in pulling herself up yet. He will do it in his own time! Just give him time and it’ll come. Every baby is different but it’s so easy to compare I find. Especially on an app like this too xx

My baby army crawls but does not roll... I've given up going by milestones by age... He's got 5 teeth...but according to his age, he should have 2 lol

My son didn’t like tummy time either. We’d lie him on an elongated cushion, so that his hands would be up front, and put toys for him initially at reach, after he was used to it, slightly out of reach 😊

My little boy is almost 9months and he doesn’t crawl either and he can’t say any words just yet either it’s so crazy he hates being on his belly too

Mines the same. I honestly wouldn't be worrying, they'll do it in their own time! I read that babies develop the skills they need so they dont need to crawl just yet 🙂

I wouldn't worry 😊 My LG isn't crawling either and doesn't ever put herself into the crawling position yet, she's just turned 8 months...I'm not remotely worried as her big sister don't crawl until she was 9.5 months. With my eldest I just got toys that moved around which encouraged her eventually to go for them

Don’t worry to much about what. Your baby ‘should be dojng’ my little girl is almost 9 month, has just this last 2 weeks started rolling around the house. Like no tomorrow, this last month took to been on her tummy - she hated tummy time and would have a complete fit if we tried too long- she preferred to sit up all the time, she has just started pushing herself backwards when on her. Belly which is quite funny 🤣 and she can only stand up for a short amount of time so I doubt she will. Be pulling herself up anytime soon, but she’s got 5 teeth, which like previous have said at their age should only have 2, I used to stress loads. About not hitting mile stones etc, but some she hit before she should have and others will come when shes ready to do them x

Mine is exactly the same! Hates being on his belly and doesn’t really push up on his arms but loves to sit and reach as far as possible without being on his belly 😂

Mine has 0 interest in moving anywhere! She sits unassisted, rolls front to back but throws a tantrum about it 🤣🙃 she will reach for things etc but doesn’t get on her knees or pivot!
