When will my premie baby crawl?

Question

My baby was born on November 9  2020, instead of January 2021. So he's premature. Will be 1 yr next month but he can't crawl nor try to grab things to stand up. But he can sit well without support.
I think he's just been lazy. He prefers to roll over from front to back to get what he wants and of he can't, he just lay there and suck his thumb.

Answer

Talk to a child's phisiotherapist. It's possible he won't crawl at all (some babies don't) but it's also possible he has some muscle issues which is easy to train- but you need to know how

Answer

My son wasn’t premature, but he’ll be one next week and doesn’t crawl. He does pull up and cruise though. I would talk to your pediatrician so they can start early intervention if they feel the need. But it is completely normal for some babies not to crawl! It’s technically not a milestone for development. They may want to involve early intervention if he can’t get into sitting position or scoot around in anyway though.

Answer

Babies are not really inherently “lazy.”  There’s usually something affecting them causing them to appear lazy.  I’d get a referral to PT for an assessment.  I’m surprised they haven’t done that already.  We had assessments every few months and my son was only 7 weeks early

Answer

My girl was not due until January and she came out the start of November of 2015. It took her awhile but she’s doing everything she needs to be doing and is doing it wonderful. If your concerned ask the doctor!

Answer

It’s hard to say. Some preemies have no trouble and some do.
