Still no crawling but she gets into sitting position on her own. Any advice how to encourage crawling?

Thank you 🥰

@maria_lizzie why do you say that?

@divinely_favored it’s not me saying that but the doctors around the world, crawling is very good for the baby’s health (brain development and core body strength) and it’s important to have baby crawl for at least two months before walking. https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/why_crawl

Interesting. I had never read or heard that.

Thank you! Will try it tomorrow 😊

Thanks, tried that! She lays down and stretches to get something close by or gives up when it’s too far and switches her attention to something else 🤨

truthfully While crawling is important, some kids do skip it and go to walking. I’d just keep enticing her and if she doesn’t I wouldn’t sweat it too much ♥️ Give her plenty of floor time. Hopefully someone else has another suggestion.

agreed. For us, it was the dog that our baby loved. He would stare at her and try so hard to crawl toward her. 🐶
