8 months old and not crawling?!

Question

So my 8 month old is not crawling. She rolls everywhere and will briefly get up on her knees like she’s going to crawl. She’s getting tons of tummy time 🤷🏻‍♀️. All I see on fb and here are other babies crawling and starting to pull up on their own. And it has his Momma freaked out! Just needing some encouragement I guess 🙇🏻‍♀️

Answer

My 8 month old isn’t crawling. She rolls or scoots herself backward while on her stomach. I’m anxious for her to start crawling although I know she’s fine developmentally and that babies do things at different paces.

Answer

My daughter isn’t properly crawling she uses her whole upper body to drag her self around. I sit there thinking to myself wow so much work just use your legs too but she doesn’t seem interested. All babies develop at a different pace I am not worried at all.

Answer

My gifted niece didnt want to crawl. She went from rolling around the house to walking. She knew what she wanted and didnt have time for that nonsense! 😂

Answer

My 7 month old son doesn't crawl yet but he gets on his hands and knees and after a minute just flops back on his belly and scoots in a circle lol I'm not too worried. I'm a ftm as well, and my MIL said my fiance didn't ever crawl, he went straight to just walking. So I'm guessing he will either take after his daddy or is just being lazy lol

Answer

Mine just started a few days ago. Much prefers standing than crawling :)

Answer

My boy is 8 months old and isn't crawling yet. He likes to roll places, and turn in circles on his belly but doesn't get up on his knees yet either. I'm not worried, I'm enjoying what little time is left of him not crawling everywhere haha!

Answer

My LO isn’t crawling yet. She is almost 8 months old. She gets up on all fours and rocks and just started moving her legs but the arms go no where. She can crawl backwards a little bit but then she falls and rolls. I’m impatient too but I know she’s trying and she will crawl on her time.

Answer

Mine isn't either. My health visitor thinks she might skip it altogether. She's more interested in rolling and shuffling around xx

Answer

She knows she can roll around and it’s probably much faster than her figuring out crawling. She will get it. If you get concerned bring it up with the pediatrician

Answer

My son was like that for a while. Took him about a month after getting on his knees like that before he actually started crawling!  Just be patient she’ll get there!
