Hey ladies. I have a question regarding your other babies. When did your LO start crawling on hands and knees. I know all babies are different but my LO seems so content with just army crawling at 9.5 months. Thanks in advance

Some kids never actually crawl. Just army crawling is totally normal, too.

It's been a difficult lesson for me to learn, but it seems like all babies develop at different rates. If your doctor isn't concerned and you're working with your child with tummy time and the like, I would try not to be too concerned - easier said than done, I know!

I honestly can't remember exactly at what age she crawled, but I do know that she went from army crawling to cruising around the furniture quickly, and then it seemed like she took forever to take her first step (around the age of 1). I could just be making this up, but it seems like when she's working on one skill, the others kind of get pushed by the wayside until she masters the one she's working on.

Good luck, and I hope you find the answers you're looking for!

Ps, here's what I found on Dr. Google
https://www.emedicinehealth.com/infant_milestones/page5_em.htm
Some babies never crawl but rather scoot on their bottoms or move on their stomachs, like an army crawl.

She started army crawling early..maybe 6 months and only crawled on her hands and knees for a brief brief period before she started walking...maybe started hands and knees crawling at 10 months and was walking around 11-11.5

While the army crawling was cute..her clothes were so gross from sweeping our floors with her belly on a daily basis

From about 7 months to 9 months my DD crawled on her hands and knees.....backwards. At 9 months she finally figured out how to go forward, but didn't walk until almost 15 months. Every baby learns to crawl and walk at different times, don't worry

Around 6 months but to echo everyone else - some kids just don't crawl and army crawling counts too

zipscheer07 · February 2014

Thanks ladies! I just want to make sure she is doing ok. I appreciate your responses!

My DD never army crawled. She hands and knees crawled from around 6-7.5 months when she figured out cruising and started walking around 9 months. She's always bern way ahead physically though.

DS started army crawling around 7 months, normal crawling around 8.5 months, he never really cruised but he started walking right before his first birthday.

My DD started to crawl around 6 months but hated it. She eventually just held on to things and walked to what she wanted. She started walking on her own at 9 months. DS walked before he actually crawled. He would but scoot places instead of crawling.

My dd didn't really crawl until about 12 months. We thought she might skip it all together. She started walking around 14 months.

tbmadeamistake · February 2014

Is it bad that I have no idea when she started to crawl? She did the army crawl thing for a while, except she could never go forward doing that, only backwards. Lots of time we had to rescue her from underneath things she couldn't see were behind her! She finally did the up on hands and knees crawling for a while, but I have no idea when. The pictures I have she's in cold weather clothes, so at least 6-9 months.

My DD crawled at about 9-10 months old and started pulling herself up very quickly after that. She didn't even walk fully until 15 months. Like PPs have said, every baby is different and some never crawl.

xnbride · February 2014

I am an awful mom because I have no freaking idea! LOL It sounds normal to me. Don't worry about it ESPECIALLY if she is pulling herself up.

rainstar752 · February 2014

Mine army crawled from 7-10 months. Then she went to her hands and knees, and started walking by 11.5 months. She was really pretty quick at army crawling though!

MollySm · February 2014

Lucia started crawling around 10 months.

dimitjm1 · February 2014

My son still army crawls and he's about to be a year old in just a couple weeks. He can get on his hands and knees and crawl if he wants to. He does it when he's in my bed messing around, but refuses to do on the floor. He's more interested in walking than crawling though.

Ya Anya is really quick at army crawling. She shows she can get up on her hands and knees but struggles to figure out how to move her legs and then gives up and goes on her belly! She wants to take off so maybe shell just go to walking!

DS army-crawled until he was 10 months old. DD never army crawled, was crawling on all fours at 8 months old.

momof5sept18 · February 2014

DS1 was crawling by 5 months and walking by 7 months.
DS2 started crawling at 7months and didnt walk until the day of his birthday.

All babies are different, Army crawling is crawling, so no worries!

MrsKipper · February 2014

Nola army crawled until around 10.5-11 months when we moved into our house that is all hard floors. I wouldn't worry, every baby gets around in a different manner. After crawling, she knee-walked for a while before actually walking.
