Here's a crawling conundrum...

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

I feel like DS will never learn to crawl.

He plays on the floor on a big blanket that I lay down (our dog sheds and I could vacuum 3x a day but still not have the living room as clean as I'd need it to be for DS to have direct contact with it).

Instead of making any effort (it seems, at least) to MOVE to get toys out of his reach, he has figured out that he can just pull the blanket towards him. Ugh!

I guess investing in some of those foamy interlocking play mats might be in my future? Meh.

    I wouldn't worry about it quite yet.  DS was just over 8 months when he finally started.

    What a clever little guy!

    I love that he's using little effort to get what he wants. Creative!

    He's only 7 months old.  I wouldn't worry at all.  Henry just started getting up on his hands and knees, but not crawling yet.  He rolls when he wants to get somewhere.

    Right? I guess it's problem-solving, at least...

    I think he invented the Lazy Susan in a past life ;)

    My DS did that for a while too then figured out he could get at more things if he moved, he army crawled for over a month until finally this week actually started to really crawl. He is also pulling himself up into the standing position by himself and getting into EVERYTHING! I think the cats motivated him to start moving because they would run away from him.

    I totally understand how frustrating it can be.  My LO flipped over by 4 months, so I thought crawling was going to come fast for him. At 6 months he started to army crawl...and its been a lot of army crawling!  So, i felt like he would never crawl in a traditional way.  People kept telling me babies can skip it altogether.  But a few days ago he did it!!  I was so happy.  I know it truly shouldnt matter, because babies will develop at their own time.  But, I was just so excited.  It makes me feel like he has reached another milestone.  I am sure he'll start crawling when you least expect it!
