Hey moms! Anyone had trouble with getting their baby to crawl? My son hates tummy time he cry’s most of the time and he…

do you use a sit me up seat, bumbo and/or boppy pillow?

My son was like that too. I just kept practicing with him, give him different toys to craw tow and play with on tummy time. Use a boppy pillow to help him sit.

Also Talk to your babies dr he could have a delaying and they would tell you what more to do. My son is

Delayed he needs physical therapy

My daughter loved knocking down towers, so I would set them up out of her reach and she'd start going for them. I'd move the towers further away as she got better at getting to them. It's also how I got her to start rolling over. She was so distracted by the tower that she forgot how much she hated tummy time.

She kind of skipped over crawling though for the most part and never really did it right lol. It was always a half crawl/half walk. Then she just started walking shortly after, but that was on the early side.

I second a sit me up seat or a Bumbo to help with the sitting up. As for crawling some babies don't crawl till around 10 months or so. Does he have a favorite snack? Maybe you cqn try putting those on the floor to see it he'll go to them

I bribed mine with cartoons on my tablet. We don’t have a tv, so cartoons are a novelty item. That’s how I got him to do tummy time. He hated it, cried non stop. I let him watch cartoons and he’d lay there for 20 minutes no problem. He started crawling at 7.5 months, he’d crawl to get at the tablet yet still couldn’t sit up unassisted. He’s just now learning to sit by himself this week, still falls over.

@jessgarr-, @mommytotheo, @haslberry, @mommyoftwoangels, @boymamachronicles, @taylorsmommy1017, I haven’t tried the boppy pillow but does that not make the babies depended on it to have it? And also he doesn’t really want to stand on his legs either he’ll do it when he feels like it but other than that he’s like nope. I just hate to feel like all of this is my fault.. my son had surgery at 3 months so every since the I have kinda been terrified for him to do anything.. or go places etc could this be happening due to the surgery?

@jasiahsmom the boppy helps them to learn how to sit it sort of holds them up till they can sit unassiated

@jasiahsmom, i use boppy pillow for tummy time and helping him sit up. now he throws it around and rolls all over it. just experiment and see what he likes and prefers!

i had this too for christmas when he was 3m
