Tip toes

Crawling isn't actually considered a milestone as some babies dont Crawl. Some go straight to walking, some bum shuffle. This might sound weird but watch the Bluey episode called Baby Race. It explains in a really gentle way that all babies are different and not all of them will hit milestone at the same time and even Bluey doesn't crawl an it really helps to normalise that babies do their own thing in their own time

I don’t think there’s anything to be worried about at all. My little boy is crawling and that was how he started. Moving backwards, rocking back and forth, then hopping to move forward till he figured it out. Also some children will never really crawl and that’s okay too.

My little one started doing this for a few weeks before he started crawling. They practice the motion of rocking first before going to crawling. Although saying that, she may just go straight to walking and not crawling. Everyone develops at their own rate, so i wouldn't be worried about it.

My little boy would always go on his tip toes or sometimes even bend him toes right over when standing 🫣 so I started putting soft bottom shoes on him which seems to have helped and 90% of the time his feet are now flat when he stands ☺️
