Any 8 month olds not standing or crawling yet?

gidge · April 2013

My husband is having starting to get a complex about our DD not being interested in moving yet. (I think mostly prompted by our friends' 7 month old now standing and a 9 month old at daycare that is walking all on her own).

I'm not really worried (it so much easier that she's stationary!) but wondering if we're the last one to start moving?

Hey Gidge...

Your DD is not alone!

Our DS started crawling early (6.5 months) and is also standing (7.5months), but DD is still not crawling or standing. She seems perfectly happy to steam-roll and belly pivot everywhere. <

I was told by our NICU doctor that crawling is no longer a milestone... Some kids don't even reach it up until they walk. I have a neighbor that has a one year old and he just started crawling at ten months. I wouldn't be too worried about them not crawli

My DS will be 8 months next week and is not where near crawling or standing. He just started rolling again and this time it seems like it will stick and he won't forget how to do it like he did when he was 4 months. I'm not worried. We'll keep

My DS is not standing or crawling yet either. Or "scooting" in any way. In fact, he doesnt even roll from back to front. He HATES being on his tummy so I don't see this ever happening. As soon as I lay him on his tummy he flips over to h

Pulling to stand usually happens between 8 and 10 months.

Don't worry but i know it's tough. Esp when you hear others saying that your child should be doing this and should be doing that. I hate that!

But anyway...mine just turned 8 months and just rolls and pivots everywhere. Gets u

DD is a week away from the big 8 months and she isn't even sitting, let alone crawling or standing!

My 7.5 month old has been sitting up by herself for several months, but refuses to even roll over, let alone try to crawl!

I catch myself worrying some days, but she's just relaxed about trying new things, I think. She's so alert, picking u

My DS will be 8 months on Saturday and isn't crawling or standing on his own. He'll get up on his hands and knees and rock back and forth but he hasn't quite figured out how to coordinate his hands and legs to move forward (which he finds very frustrating

DD will be 9 months on the 1st. She is not crawling, rolling, scooting or anything else that has to do with movement! She will stand if I hold her. Not worried. I am actually thankful for not having to chase her yet!
