LO is 7 months and still rolls to get where he wants to go. He "swims" on his tummy but doesn't plank or get up on all fours yet.
What age did your LO start crawling?
-
Interested in this as well! L has been planking a bit but he mostly just rotates on his tummy to look in different directions. Or scooches his bum backwards.
-
LO gets up on all fours and belly flops an inch further from where he is. He's beginning to army crawl as an alternative to that though. He's 7 months as you know
-
He army crawls a little bit at 7 months
-
@.twist.: @knittylady: @grizz: I know I'm neurotic but I get so worried about his milestones when your babies (and those in our play group) seem so much more advanced. B still can't even sit for long periods unassisted because he lunges at toys and loses his balance. I keep worrying that he is delayed.
I have serious issues. I need to work on this! How do you guys keep from comparing?
-
@rahlyrah: L can't sit unassisted for more that like... 5 seconds! B is totally not delayed!
I am always comparing because L was a premie and I want to make sure he's developing at a good rate. I worry that because he was a premie he's behind, so I'm always trying to make sure he's keeping up with his age group.
-
LO started crawling a few days after he turned six months. He's always been very physical though.
-
@rahlyrah: I have trouble with comparing too, especially since LO will be 8 months next week and has only just become comfortable rolling. She's been sitting well since 5.5 months, but scoots backwards while she's on her back to get anywhere, which I've been told by an OT is something I need to prevent. So to answer your original question, almost 8 months and still waiting.
-
@.twist.: Same! B was early too!
-
@rahlyrah: I can't! I compare his verbal milestones to you guys lol! I think if it's not one thing it's the other. Plus DH has an amazingly helpful saying he picked up at AA. "Don't compare your insides to other people's outsides." You never know what milestone, or any other issue another person is having. Likewise, others don't know what your insecurity is. Like, I saw a bunch of june/July mama's write that their LO's are babbling mamama and bababa etc., DS hardly uses consonants at all. Sometimes a da. But then I come on to find you're worried about physical milestones. I had no idea! I thought everyone was all advanced but DS!
Sorry that was so long. Did that make sense?
-
@knittylady: Perfect sense
-
@rahlyrah: then I think we have to be extra patient with these matters! Our little dudes will catch up!
-
@rahlyrah: Compare him to E! E finally figured out how to flip onto his belly a day before he turned 7 months. Before, tummy time was like flipping pancakes...every time I'd turn my back he'd be on his back again! So I totally wouldn't worry about these kind of milestones. I figure E will be crawling by the end of February or later. (He has only rocked back and forth on all fours with a little support to keep him from going backward.) And he hasn't really figured out how to roll to get places yet. I'm just the impatient sort, but E is healthy and happy and I know he won't be re-enacting that one scene from Mission Impossible on our carpet all his life, at least.
-
10.5 months when he started real crawling.
-
@rahlyrah: R (7 months) isn't crawling yet..just rocking on all fours...and while she rolls both ways, she won't do it to get somewhere--she just yells at me instead! She also doesn't sit for that long without seeing something and tipping over to get it! Don't worry about B, R is right there along side him
-
6.5 months. He was on the early side for his physical milestones, though, and a little late on the verbal.
-
LO is 7 months and just.started.to.crawl... like a few crawl steps. Don't worry. As long as lo is getting lots of floor time he will get there. Also.. she can sit but only for a moment. Lots of babies can't sit totally unassisted until 9 mo. It takes a lot of strength!
-
@rahlyrah: don't stress! Our ped reassured us that crawling is not technically a milestone because a baby doesn't HAVE to ever learn to crawl in order to continue with healthy development. That being said, C started crawling on Christmas Eve, at 10.5 months and I was always a little anxious when people would assume she had been crawling for months before she ever started. Try not to worry!
-
L army crawled at 5.5 and proper crawled at 6. She's been really early on that stuff though.
-
My baby turned 7 months last week and only now has learned to flip back to front and roll a little bit. He's nowhere near crawling. His pediatrician wasn't worried, so I'm not (too) worried!
Oh and he's really vocal, but no babbling consonants here either
-
9 months!
-
Army crawled at 7 months and real crawled at close to 10.
-
10.5 months!
-
8.5 months (real crawling). And he rolled late (6+ months) and NEVER log rolled. To this day (22 months), he doesn't log roll.
-
8 months was army crawl for us.
He didn't start "real" crawling until 10.5 months.
-
Not till 11 months — that's when she started pulling herself up, crawling, cruising, standing on her own. I guess something just clicked and it all happened at once for her!
-
7 months. He literally went from nothing to crawling overnight. He didn't army crawl, plank, rock on all fours, nothing. One day he just started crawling.
-
@rahlyrah: It's so hard not to compare (M was a little premature too) but they each pick these things up in their own time. M didn't crawl until 9 months. She's never been very physical. Now (15 months) all of her friends have been walking forever and she's not ready yet. She's the only one talking up a storm though... they all have their strengths!
-
Army crawling by 6 months, full on crawling 6.5 months.
-
C is not even close to army crawling or having any interest in being on all fours. If he's on his belly he just rolls right over onto his back. It's easy to compare.... I go to gymboree and 3 of the kids are the same age as C. One is crawling and clapping already!
One of the moms told me her daughter went from never showing any interest to crawling within 2 days! And C went from a wobbly tipping over sitter to a sturdy sitter in literally 1 weekend.
-
DS started crawling last week at 9.5 months. He crawled backwards for a couple weeks before that. He had never been much of a roller. He did it at 4 months and then again a month later and so on. He still hardly ever does. He started sitting really good at 7 months and that is all he wanted to do.
In these last 2-3 weeks he has learned so many things it blows my mind. Waving, clapping, crawling, pulling up.
-
@rahlyrah: R cannot sit unassisted for long periods of time yet either. She's definitely not crawling yet. Keep in mind that MANY of the June babies were born a few weeks ahead of ours. It just seems like they're ahead in milestones because of the few weeks' difference.
-
Army crawling at 8.5months and crawling at 10. My LO only rolled over about 5 times and once she could sit she refused to be horizontal. I was worried she would never have a chance to learn to crawl but she managed.
-
I'm excited for DD to start. She's almost six months and rolling in both directions. She's been doing the beached sea lion for the past two weeks, and it looks like she might start crawling soon. Who knows, though.
-
@rahlyrah: I don't ever think about it because I'm so stressed about sleep. It seems like everyone else is STTN or close, when the longest stretch I get at night is 90 minutes
-
@grizz: oh man that must be incredibly stressful for you!
-
E never army crawled but just started proper crawling five days shy of her 10 months birthday. I was not worried in the slightest, even though it seemed as though everyone else's baby started crawling far earlier.
-
Crawling and walking between 9 and 10 months...he started with pulling up and cruising along the furniture and with his walker between 8 and 9 months.
-
8 months for army crawling, 8.5 months for real crawling and 9 months for first steps! I was really worried that he wasn't crawling yet and then it all came really fast!

About a week before he turned 7 months
