Let’s talk about crawling 👧👦
#movementdevelopmentinbabiesseries
Ramai tanya dalam Q&A anak almost 10 months tapi masih belum crawl. Apa nak buat? Ok ke anak skip merangkak?
Ok first, range untuk baby crawl is quite wide around 5 to 10 months of age (depending on size etc), most babies start to crawl at about 7-8 months. Small numbers of babies may skip crawling altogether. It takes a lot to learn how to crawl.
So, some ways to encourage your babies:
🌟 Looooooads of tummy time; Why? Cause the muscles are strengthen especially the back, neck, arms & legs
🌟 Use their favorite toys by putting them on the ground for them to sccot, and then gradually crawl to the object
🌟 Less time in walkers/bouncers; babies who don’t spend a lot of time on the floor may take longer to develop the strength to crawl (guilty 🙋♀️ of this with my first born!)
🌟 Get on the floor & crawl with your baby! It is important to provide a comfortable space for them to explore. Plus when they see you or their elder siblings on the floor with them they are even more motivated to imitate the crawling movements!
Selamat mencuba! 💜
