Anyone else baby not crawling yet? Also, am I feeding baby enough??

Question

Baby girl will be 9 mo on the 11th.  Still not crawling, but she loves to roll and roll and roll constantly, and that’s pretty much how she gets around.  
Also, I still breastfeed her about 3 times a day, and I feed her the stage 2 baby food purees three times a day.  I try to do two fruits and a veggie at night.  Am I feeding her enough?  Besides that, She only has one tooth.  She has a few sips of water from my glass a few times a day
I’m a first-time mom.

Answer

My daughter isn’t crawling at 9 months yet.
🤷‍♀️. She just wants to stand. Honestly wondering if she’ll skip crawling. Haha

Answer

9 months on Saturday and not even close. She doesn't even get herself in a sitting position on her own yet. You gotta sit her up and she just sits there all day waiting for her toys to be delivered while you must sit by her or else. Lol I've tried many times letting her play independently or putting her toys just out of reach so she will be more motivated but it just gets her mad & frustrated and she just cries. She loves falling over on her back or sides now on purpose, then gets herself stuck and cries to be sat back up. She doesn't roll either. She only rolls side to side but not all the way. She doesn't like being on her belly & will roll right back. I'm more than ready for her to be mobile and honestly getting impatient wondering when she will do anything else other than just sit there. She's always been a lazy baby, probably won't walk till she's 18 months at the rate she's going. I know she will do things when she's ready but it's hard when week after week, there's no progress. My butt is so sore from sitting with her and my back kills from walking & holding her the rest of the time. I'm gonna try food and see if that makes anything "click" sigh.

Answer

I breastfeed my LO at least 8 times a day, but we're doing Baby Led Weaning so he's not eating a ton of solids. When I'm at work he drinks between 15-17 oz for a 9ish hour period

Answer

To answer the feeding question, the big answer is if she is gaining weight appropriately. At 9 months babies need 24-30oz of milk or formula a day. So if she’s drinking 8 oz per meal than I’d say yes, but that’s a lot at once. My boy is 9 months and was born into the 10th percentile, he has remained strong on that curve. He weighs 17lbs but my doctor assured me that he is gaining at the speed in which he should be (mom and dad are both fairly small). My doctor said “you two won’t have a 6 footer” lol. 
My 10th percentile baby drinks 26oz of formulas day (two 4 oz bottles and three 6oz bottles) and breastfeeds in between, about 4 times a day. I am pregnant and my supply is dropping but I’m sure he gets an oz or two every breastfeeding session which would put his total milk/ formal consumption around 30-32 oz a day. 
He gets two meals and a snack. Breakfast is usually Yogurt and fruit mixed together. Lunch is whatever we are having (today he had olive oil soaked salmon and and cheese). Snack is some kid of puff or melty that he can practice feeding himself with. He also gets a sippy cup mixed with 1oz apple juice and 1oz water a day just to practice. He barley drinks any of it. 
Your girl is sweet! Sounds like you’re doing a great job.

Answer

My son will be 9 months old the 23rd and still not crawling either. However, when we hold his hands and have him stand up he’ll take a few steps on his own.
He’s also still nursing every 2 hours throughout the night and he still nurses about 6 times during the day on top of having breakfast, lunch and dinner and puffs in between. He LOVES eating, but is only 16lbs 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

My son is breastfeeding 5 times a day and eating 3 meals a day plus a snack sometimes. He eats fruit purée with oatmeal for breakfast, a yoghurt and some puffs or teething biscuits for lunch and veggie-meat purée for dinner. He also eats a few bites from everything we eat. I think you should offer her more milk since that should be the main nutrition source before they turn 1.

Answer

You're doing a great job and she is just fine. My baby girl has 3 bottles a day and 3 meals as well. She has 2 bottom teeth that came back to back but nothing since then. She just started crawling about a week or two ago and she turned 9 months on friday. Dont worry!

Answer

My daughter will be 9month the 24th and she still isn't crawling. She scoots around on her butt amd tries to crawl but after a few tries she just gets back into a sitting position. 
She is bottle fed and eats about 30 oz a day. She eats breakfast and dinner with us and has a snack.

Answer

My baby girl just started crawling solid at 9months but all babies are different I wouldn’t worry. It happens really fast once they get it!
As for food I would just add some protein in the diet. We do three meals a day plus snack or bf in between and bf at nap and bedtimes.

Answer

My son rolls and rocks everywhere. I think he figures he can get around that way, he doesn’t need to crawl lol my son is 8 months
