I’ve got a question for you all, did any of your baby’s decide not to learn how to crawl? We do lots of tummy time but I think she won’t learn to crawl but skip that and maybe bum scooch or go straight to walking instead.
My son went right to walking... it is VERY important for development for them to crawl. Just keep her on the tummy
I'm not a doctor but I did go to an osteopath (spelling?) And she told me to really make sure that my daughter learns to crawl first because the crawling develops important muscles in their chest. I don't know how urgent it is to make sure that happens. My daughter did end up crawling. I heard of babies tgat skip crawling though. Like I said this is just what I was told. I don't know for sure.
@agerbs92, i would hope so! Just to be safe I would ask tho
@raqueliiosiis, yea I might do that on her next appointment, but I’m sure my doctor would’ve said something if there was something wrong he normally does check her hips as well so we will see.
My niece actually didn’t crawl until she was 1.5 years old. She wanted to but it turns out she has a hip issue. If your concerned bring it up to the pedi
I have a friend who's son started walking at 7.5 months, totally skipped crawling
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...

Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:

@mommy1991, yes is helps with motor skills, kids that skip crawling tend to hyperextend limbs and have issues with cross over motions.. ie. May no be good at soccer or ball, but would be great in track or skiing. ☺️
