I feel better that we have the liners! So I won’t be responding every 1 hour tonight because he’s stuck :/. He was doing so well... 10-12 hours a night! Now this! But I’m going to ride it out! Thanks so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801835 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 12:50:37 +0000 SweetiePie 2801835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: @cake2017: same. Every time they learn a new skill there’s a sleep disruption. Rolling, sitting, crawling, pulling up to stand. Just have to ride it out and usually allow for some CIO. You know why they’re doing it and usually after a couple days, maybe a week max, they are used to it and the excitement wears off. So for a few nights you don’t want to mess with too much (introduce new sleep crutches, etc). </p> <p>Also, same with the mesh bumpers. Love. They also keep all the pacis in the crib! 🙌🏼 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801833 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 12:45:22 +0000 cake2017 2801833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay that’s what I was thinking. We lowered the crib one level down for now and added the mesh liners. Thanks so much everyone. Hope this helps! 😆 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801820 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 11:02:55 +0000 gingerbebe 2801820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cake2017: yep we got mesh bumpers, lowered the crib all the way, and CIO. There’s nothing wrong with them and there’s no way to get them to stop so I let them be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801797 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 06:17:56 +0000 cake2017 2801797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: Did you just let them cio when they would sit up crying? I’ve been up all night. Going to get the mesh liner today. He’s attempting to pull himself up so we will lower the crib too. I don’t know what to do because he’s not sleeping and he wants too! Me too 😓 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801794 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 02:49:44 +0000 cake2017 2801794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Becky: Did it stop after he learned to crawl? Did you lower your crib when he was grabbing on it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801715 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 16:52:12 +0000 cake2017 2801715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: Yes! He’s sleep trained. Doing well! Now this haha. also i’ll just suck it up and be cranky with lack of sleep! I’m hoping it passes quickly! It’s rewarding to see it all happen though so I’ll hold on to that :) Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801712 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 16:46:14 +0000 cake2017 2801712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: @Becky: Yes! Getting it on monday after work!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801652 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 14:51:42 +0000 Becky 2801652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: I completely forgot about those mesh things. That made a huge difference for us with DD2. She’d bump her head on the slats while wiggling around and the mesh bumper softened that so she wouldn’t wake up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801649 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 14:43:18 +0000 gingerbebe 2801649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, it happens. They want to crawl or pull up or whatever. We rode it out. We also got those mesh bumpers on the crib slats so they don't get their legs stuck and stuck them in sleep sacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801633 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 14:06:55 +0000 raspberries 2801633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cake2017: I'm not sure where you stand on sleep training, but we basically just stuck with what had worked the first time (just making sure we had a really solid nap/bedtime routine so there was no question that it was time for sleeping, followed by CIO with checks that grew more and more spaced out.) We had another brief period of reinforcing good sleep habits around 9.5 months when he learned to pull himself up in the crib, but couldn't get down very easily.</p> <p>There is just so much going on around 8/9 months development-wise - physically, mentally, emotionally, etc! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801617 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 13:04:17 +0000 Becky 2801617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We rode it out both times 😊 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801605 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 11:43:09 +0000 cake2017 2801605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: During that time what did you do to help not form bad habits etc? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801586 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 10:58:03 +0000 raspberries 2801586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One other possibility is the 9 month sleep regression - it hit early for both of my kids at right around 8 months, so that might factor into it too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801583 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 10:52:42 +0000 cake2017 2801583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maddyz: Yes he’s doing exactly that. He crawls backwards on the floor and now in the crib. He’s getting his foot stuck at night so i have to get up to help him. Nap today was bad. Down for 10 mins and up in the position. I don’t want him to get overtired so I just drove around and he’s asleep. I plan to stick to our routine until this passes but I just don’t want him to get so tired especially during the day with naps. </p> <p>Hoping this passes quickly! Thanks for posting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801576 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 10:05:56 +0000 maddyz 2801576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my kids had a week or so of "practice" crawling where they would be half awake and rocking back and forth in a crawling position. LO2 would do this for a very long time at night before either getting upset or going back to sleep. It kinda freaked me out, but the phase passed quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801553 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 08:58:49 +0000 cake2017 2801553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>LO has been sleeping well. Hes going to be 8 months this month. Now he is waking up quick from naps and night time sleep. Normal? How long? He’s up in the crib in his crawling stance :) .<br /> He’s on the floor all day and getting a lot of play time so I am comfortable with that. </p> <p>Any tips or we just ride this one out???!!???</p> <p>TIA </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-crawling-just-wants-to-walk-help#post-2105590 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 11:13:00 +0000 Cherrybee 2105590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the same fears about E - she was 10 months when she finally learned to crawl but all she ever really used crawling for was getting to something she could pull up on!! She walked 2 months later! </p> <p>I was also terrified of her falling.... We had a few short weeks respite from that fear once she was steady on her feet but then she discovered climbing and the fear returned! You can't turn your back on E for one minute without her diving off of something! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-crawling-just-wants-to-walk-help#post-2105558 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 11:04:38 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 2105558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: yeah that's what i'm hoping will end up happening now that she was creeping along yesterday. she needs to slow down!! lol everything is happening too fast for me :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-crawling-just-wants-to-walk-help#post-2105549 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 11:02:18 +0000 ShootingStar 2105549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally thought DS wasn't going to crawl at all. From the time he was teeny tiny he wanted to stand. I thought for sure he was going to go right to walking. But he surprised me and did end up crawling for a few months before he walked. You just never know what they're going to do :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-crawling-just-wants-to-walk-help#post-2105464 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 10:28:59 +0000 erinpye 2105464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband went straight to walking, and he's fine. I do know a therapist asked me if he has trouble reading (he doesn't), because crawling is really important for brain development, and communication between the different sides of the brain. Knowing that, but also that I personally know people who went straight to walking with no ill effects, I'd encourage crawling as best I can, but not stress too much if your baby just ends up doing her milestones a bit differently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-crawling-just-wants-to-walk-help#post-2105291 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 09:45:51 +0000 MrsRcCar 2105291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go A!!! E loves to crawl although he does know how to walk. E has been pulling up and cruising for a while now. Hopefully the bruises will be minimal. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-crawling-just-wants-to-walk-help#post-2104964 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 08:23:17 +0000 ValentineMommy 2104964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son at 10m started to walk while holding on to things (without having crawled). Then at 11m he started crawling out of nowhere. At a year he was walking. </p> <p>You never know what they're going to do - she might just surprise you and start crawling one day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-crawling-just-wants-to-walk-help#post-2104947 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 08:11:03 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 2104947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so funny enough yesterday afternoon she creeped over to grab a dog toy and then did it again 2 more times!! seems like she definitely knows how to do it, tho not consistently, but prefers just trying to stand and walk. she's a maniac! :grin: :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-crawling-just-wants-to-walk-help#post-2104320 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 16:05:22 +0000 Mama Bird 2104320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is perfectly normal! No one in my family crawled before they walked, and we're fine :grin: watching her fall down is probably harder for you then for her... she'll learn to be more careful in time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-crawling-just-wants-to-walk-help#post-2104259 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 15:41:23 +0000 mdf106 2104259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was cruising very easily, and showed no interest in crawling. One day he just crawled across the room (at 9 months). He did not even like being on all fours, except to lunge for stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-crawling-just-wants-to-walk-help#post-2103701 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 10:50:45 +0000 Rockies11 2103701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine never rolled, then sat, never crawled, then walked. I did everything to try and get her to roll and crawl, and she just wasn't interested! She's 20 months, and has great gross motor, so it seems to have worked out okay! I think some babies just aren't into it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-crawling-just-wants-to-walk-help#post-2103695 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 10:48:46 +0000 Greentea 2103695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO went from rolling super fast - like crazy fast to get across the room in a split second, to walking at 9 months just like @wrkbrk: ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-crawling-just-wants-to-walk-help#post-2103692 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 10:45:52 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 2103692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: no we didn't go ahead with the EI. she really only qualified because they don't correct for prematurity and in NJ they don't do feeding therapy as part of EI so with all her other appointments and things we thought it would be too much. i'm not as much worried that she won't do it at all, i'm just scared that she's too little to be trying such advanced stuff and going to get hurt a lot </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-interest-in-crawling-just-wants-to-walk-help#post-2103623 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 10:04:12 +0000 MapleMoose 2103623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO started walking at 10 months, after standing/cruising around 8-9 months. It was about 2 weeks before she perfected it enough that I could let her roam a bit without my constant help. Hang in there mama! </p>
