How to Teach Your Baby to Crawl | 5 Tips and Tricks

[@tiffanymaxson7657]

OMGGG!! You and your wife are amazing and so smart!! My baby is 6 months and need slight support sitting up, she cant crawl and HATES tummy time!! She hates tummy time SO bad that she rolled over to tummy or her back when she was only 1 week old!! So she’s 6 & 1/2 months now and I’m like why won’t she crawl?! All the signs are there but she won’t. I’ve trying reading and watching sooo many videos they all say the same thing just tummy time. I used the boppy in your video and BAM she was FINALLY on her knees!! After subscribing and watching your videos I’ve decided I’m selling her activity center and only keeping her push walker. Which I’ve done my research and read even doctors stating they delay babies from walking! Overall I’m SOOO glad I found your videos!! I will be sharing this with all my friends!!

[@DadsDad]

Hi Tiffany! Thank you so much for your comment and for sharing your experience! My wife and I are very happy that this worked for you!! :)

Don’t be upset if your child doesn’t crawl, some kids TOTALLY skip this. But I definitely think you should try and engage with them

[@ChefSaucey_G]

Trying but he already likes to stand up on his fit and bounce. He trys to take steps. But hates tummy time and he's going on 8 months

[@elizabethmachuma1334]

Mine doesn't like tummy time at all but he's quite strong in his legs movements in the car seat his dad got for him. His seven month turning 8 in a week & half. Should I worry I he doesn't crawl?

[@brittanysmoke9420]

My son didnt start walking until 14 months. He skipped crawling completely until one day he walked along the couch and starting walking. My whole family that day was like 😦😲😲

[@ariellesomers990]

My son was the same way. Didn't crawl at all and didn't walk until 14 months. He didn't walk until he knew he could do it, he got up and walked the entire length of the house the first time 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ some babies are just stubborn and know what they want

[@saritashah9878]

Did he sit up by himself?

[@jaygheewala16]

so i looked at your video yesterday at 4pm especially the one with the boppy and within a day my 7+ month old daughter has started to lift her tummy and slowly moving forward... not proper crawling but at least that's a start... she is now trying hard to move in front to grab her toys.... All i did was following: 1) took boppy out of closest... Followed the video 2) Gave her lots of appreciation & encouragement as soon as she grabbed a toy 3) used different locations for playing/training: Carpet floor in bedroom, our bed & play mat... all worked like a charm

[@DadsDad]

Nice Jay! Sounds like she will be crawling before you know it! 🎉🎉

[@Vgallo]

My son has been trying to crawl since 3-4 weeks, but is now 8 months and is still struggling, accept when we hold his hands, he’s able to walk. He’s just having trouble coordinating his arms with his legs, I can see like his old man, he’s overthinking it. We always did tummy time, we had the pillow, he gets on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth and actually pushes himself backwards, he’s been doing that for 2-3 months. He’s got the strength, but like I said he keeps overthinking where he puts his hands. I’ve actually seen him crawl one or two paces when he doesn’t think about it, but when he’s trying he just overthinks it. Oh my sons name is Judah.

[@Black_Samurai-fish]

My sons 8 months and can’t crawl at all. All my other kids were walking by now. I believe it’s due to not being able to use his hands. “He has scratch sleeves on 24/7 due to severe eczema” I really hope this helps him. He wants to play with his brothers and sisters so badly!

[@sjcooks3664]

Thank you. I’ll try this . Especially the boppy tip. For the past 2 months my son has been swinging his body back and forth whilst on his hands and knees then lunges his whole body and face forward as if he’s about to fly 😩 I’m hoping the boppy will teach him to move his leg and arms forward !!!

[@Nnykirs]

Wow how helpful! I just propped my nearly 6 month old up with the boppi and he immediately started engaging his legs which he normally doesn't do! He seemed to be getting so frustrated just on his tummy he'd kick and kick and never got anywhere lol

[@nathanielharper5771]

Awesome video! When did you guys stop swaddling and was your baby a back sleeper or side/tummy once done with the swaddle and rolling over?

[@DadsDad]

We stopped swaddling right around 5 months when we transitioned Leo to his crib from the snoo. Since we used the snoo he was a back sleeper but the moment he transitioned to his crib, he was a tummy sleeper, still is to this day!

[@nathanielharper5771]

@@DadsDad Thanks for the reply and insight. This first time dad has a real active one on his hands haha He rolled over at 2 months, so we got the snoo at that point, but I know he will follow in your sons foot steps with the stomach sleeping tendencies. Why I asked though, is because I heard that stomach sleepers and babies that are out of the swaddle earlier (most of the time from rolling), crawl and walk earlier! Loved you tips and already have implemented the ones I wasn’t doing 👍🏼

Thank you for sharing!

[@wrathcomes1336]

For all who don’t know it’s normal for kids to not crawl at six seven or eight months and sometimes babies end up not crawling at all and skipping that process all together some babies just have to much weight on them so it’s harder for them to learn how to do it due to there weight but for anyone trying to teach there babies don’t get discouraged keep trying

[@DadsDad]

All great points, Wrath and thanks for reaffirming! There’s definitely nothing wrong with late or no crawling, but hopefully these are fun exercises to try out regardless 🙂

[@wrathcomes1336]

[@kristinamoussa5071]

Oh my goddddd your sonnnnn is soooooo adorable!!!!! I loved his face when he was on the boppy and your family were all applauding him and he just looked up at everyone! He is so precious!! I’m on my third bubba. He’s 6 months in a couple days and he is definitely throwing his bum in the air and pushing his legs to push him forward…. He hasn’t quiet got the idea that he needs his arms to help him with that! Although he does lift himself up with his arms! I don’t have a boppy (if that’s what it’s called) so I’ll get one! That should help him prop him all up! Thank you guys!!!! Loved watching your beautiful little family! You seem like great parents!!!!
