crawling

Any 9 month olds not crawling?  My LO is almost 9 months and does not crawl.  She can get up on all fours and rock but usually starts crying.  She can scoot on her bum,army crawl in circles, and crawl maybe one step if she really wants something.  Other than that, nothing

thanks

I am from the LGBT board...just check this board regularly because our LO is in the age range.  He will be 10 months in a few days.  He gets up on hands and knees a little, but his movement is all army crawl. He is loving this new movement and giggles and giggles as we crawl around with him.  He's pretty quick too. I think it's normal.

DD started crawling right at 9 months. Some babies never crawl. I wouldn't worry

My DD isn't crawling - and isn't getting up onto all 4's either.  I never crawled, so my pedi says not to worry but I can't help it!

DS just started crawling yesterday! He was doing all the things you described for about a month. I'm sure it will be any day now!

My DD is 12mo and just started crawling couple of days ago. she was "belly crawling" a little here and there for a month or so but all of the sudden she decided its time to crawl. She basically sat on her butt for the first year of her life, while it is frustrating and worrysome every baby is different and when they ready they go. You would never tell that she was that behind she's cruising pulling up climbing up like a monkey and crawling like a champ all within a week of time! My pedi never worried checked her out at her 1 yr appt and said nothing is wrong she's just taking her time. I had EI come in had therapy set up for her while my pedi told me I'm crazy, well he was right ...

thanks everyone!  I always overthink things and have to remind myself every baby is different.  Some babies i know crawled at 6 months or walked at 10 months ect.  DD has never been early for milestones.  ALways right on time or a little after.  She didnt master rolling until 6 months and couldnt sit up for a long time without toppling over until 7 months.  She still topples over when she gets overly excited about a toy! lol

My DS started crawling a week before he turned 9 months.. It varies so much

DD has a couple weeks until she is 9m, but she is no where near crawling.  She just got to the point yesterday where she will push up with her hands and all of her belly comes off the floor.  I think she is trying to figure out how to her her knees underneath her, but no luck yet.  If I put her in the hands and knees position she will stay there for a minute or so, but no rocking--if she moves she belly flops

She is much more interested in walking.  She's been standing on her own for about 1.5m, cruising for about 1m and just a few days ago, she took her first steps.

Nope.  DD is almost one and not crawling, but will be starting physical therapy because of this in a couple weeks.  She looks like she's getting closer, but still not.

My DS just started crawling right around 10 months. I started to worry around 9 months but he just took off one day and hasn't looked back.

PPs are correct, some babies never crawl and professionals consider butt scooting and army crawling - crawling (in terms of questionaires). DS turned 1 today. He pulled into the crawling position at 6 months, would do a few backwards crawls, but then he'd give up and stopped trying all together. At 9 months he was rolling to get around but nothing else. I was worried and took him for eval - pedi said he was fine, he was ahead on his fine motor and communication.

Just shy of 11 months he started army crawling all over the place (it's amazing how fast they can get around like that!). A few days ago I caught him do a few normal crawls to get at a toy, then when he had it he dropped down to army crawling again, so I know he can do it that way if he wanted to, he just doesn't want to. He pulls-up and cruises, pretty close to taking his first steps. Don't worry about it - if you have an army crawler then gross motor is fine at 9 months. They get around the way they like best.

My baby will be 10 months in a week and isn't crawling. He gets up and rocks and he moves by scooching on his belly.

DS just gets up on his hands and spins around in circles. He seems pretty content doing that and doesn't seem to be making any effort to go forwards or backwards. Hopefully this turns into real crawling soon!

Nick's almost 11 months and still not crawling either. He's not pushing up or pulling up. He's working with EI now.

Tim never crawled but scooted.
