baby not crawling. how to help?

Question

during tummy time my son will kick his legs like he’s trying to crawl, but in the air not against the floor. he’ll push up on his arms, then let go again and kick his legs. he won’t do both together, so is there any way to help him? he has the movements down just not the coordination. 
he does this while reaching for toys and everything. so i think he is trying to move. does it sound like he’ll be crawling soon regardless?

Answer

How old is he?
And you can't really help. You shouldn't even. They will need to figure it out for themselves, I'm positive your little guy will too. Each baby has their own pace, give him some more time. If concerned, ask his paediatrician next time you're around.

Answer

How old is he? When my daughter is sitting (almost 7 months, been sitting since 5 and 1/2) she will turn one leg inward and start to reach for toys I put them just out of her reach and I have gone through the motions with her (shown and also physically had helped her do them) of how to get on her hands and knees. 
I have been doing it a few times per day for a week and today she got on her hands and knees a few times! I am not sure if what I did helped or she figured it out on her own.

Answer

Me too in same boat my mind is full of questions why, when , how

Answer

My son never crawled, it's not a milestone they have too meet. Walked while holding onto things/us from 6-7months old, and alone from 10months old. 
So just keep doing tummy time and play on the floor, and he will figure out what to do, crawling or walking.
