Get Your Baby Crawling in No Time
Follow the
links on this page for activities and tips to get your baby crawling in no time. Every mom wants to have a bright child. Right?? You can boost
your child's future performance by encouraging your baby to crawl at an early
age.

Don't worry!!
Now, don't rush to your paediatrician if your baby doesn't crawl according to
the normal accepted standard or doesn't crawl at all. Have his development
milestones checked if you're worried, but remember...
Every baby is unique
...and will crawl at his/her own pace and in his own style.
Don't worry if he doesn't crawl at all. That's
normal!! Some babies skip the crawling phase all together - they just stand up
and walk.
How to Promote Crawling Development
Crawling may be the first way your
baby gets mobile. Yet, very few
parents realize how important this milestone is in the whole child
development process. Occupational therapists place so much emphasis on
crawling development because it is one of the most important activities to
promote infant crawling for optimal stimulation.
Crawling Benefits
Some babies instinctively start crawling out of baby beds, others need a little
help to lift their stomach from the ground. Be aware of the signs that she's
ready to crawl. Development experts agree that there are definite
benefits of crawling.
It doesn't matter how she does it -- or whether she skips
infant crawling at all, but at least try and promote it. You want to do anything that helps you
to get a crawling baby and develop at a faster rate than normal.
Need help with baby crawling?
Babies do need to find
some way to move across the floor. Each will do so at unpredictable times and in
distinctive ways.
Your child may be a scooter, one who likes to stay upright and
scoot across the floor on his bottom. Many babies prefer creeping, commando
crawling or wriggling
forward on the stomach. Many children will crab-crawl, scooting backwards. Some
babies roll everywhere and then go straight to pulling up and walking.
Some go
straight to walking, some bum shuffle, some push themselves backwards on their
tummy (consider getting a tummy time mat!!) around the living room, some
crawl backwards. And, of course, many
children will get up on all fours and crawl forward in the traditional way. Each
child is unique.
