POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy7 months agoA. Crawling is a significant milestone that typically occurs between 6 to 10 months of age, although the exact timing can vary from child to child. Some babies start crawling earlier, while others may skip crawling altogether and go straight to walking.
Here’s a general timeline for crawling development:
Around 6 to 7 months: Many babies begin to push up on their hands and knees, starting to rock back and forth.
Between 7 to 10 months: Some babies begin crawling by moving their hands and knees in a coordinated fashion, while others might shuffle on their belly or scoot backward before crawling forward.
Keep in mind that every baby develops at their own pace, and some may be slower to reach this milestone, while others may skip crawling and go directly to standing or walking. As long as your baby is reaching other developmental milestones (like sitting up, rolling over, and reaching for objects), it’s typically not a cause for concern.
If you're concerned about your child's motor development, it’s always a good idea to consult your pediatrician.
