Why is Crawling Important for Baby? See All the Benefits of Crawling!

Crawling is an important milestone in baby’s development. It helps develop muscles and joints around baby’s core, back, hips, and shoulders, and increases strength and balance that are important for walking later on.
Did you know crawling also helps support sensory and vision development, balance, body awareness, executive function, and brain development? For instance, crawling requires both sides of the body to coordinate together! This is known as bilateral coordination and helps strengthen the area of the brain that helps the two sides of the body communicate.
