scarlet 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2008 Hi,My Boy is 5.5mo now. I noticed he has started to learn crawling, from his many attempts to push his body to the front using his the strength of both arms, not knowing yet using his both legs.. i guess eventually he will progress to wht your BB is practicing now...hmm.. just to share from a book i read on BB's Brain Potential ".....the simple and long-known basic activities of normal children, such as crawling and creeping, are of the greatest possible importance to the brain. We learned that if such activities are denied to normal children,... the potential of these children is severely limited. ....".So, let your BB creep & crawl as much as possible.sigh...i hav worries now, caz i noticed my BB sitter wud just put my BOY on walker or into the BB Cot (like the other 2 yo boy she's currently take care) all day...which is ...BAD! & SAD!

burgundywine 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2008 Hey, I observed this from my bb every time after she turns over, she will raise her buttock and use both legs to push. I assume she wants to move forward. She is not using her arms to move her body yet cause her legs are stronger. Is this the 1st sign of crawling?

Ally'sMom 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2010 No, lifting his bum while he is on his tummy yeah, him doing the swimming motion also shows he is preparing himself to crawl. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qarezma 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2010 No, lifting his bum while he is on his tummy yeah, him doing the swimming motion also shows he is preparing himself to crawl.Sanju is a lil pampered since 3 weeks ago... while being at my parents house for a week and after that my mom was here to take care of him, 1 week again, so he got luxury treatments always being carried, so recently he does not want to be left on his own, thats why he is missing the chances of getting into crawling mood. Plus after he turns over on his tummy, he will lift his head up and get tired after 5 seconds, so he will bring his head down. I also just got him a walker to encourage him to play on his own, and make more use of his legs... hahaha such a lazy kid i have!Also it seems that my hubby only used to sit, and after that went on walking, so i suspect sanju might be following his suit..

meiteoh 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2010 I think a lot of babies start to crawl via the leapfrog method - bum up and then use more legs to propel themselves forward. It's actually quite normal. You can encourage them or help them by assisting them when they do want to crawl or providing added motivation to crawl (put favourite toys slightly out of reach when they are on their tummies, etc). :)But yes, some babies skip the crawling stage and go straight to walking. No biggies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diana 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2010 qarezma,i feel if you leave Sanju on his tummy more often he will eventually learn to crawl. Prior to coming back to KL, I used to only let Chloe play on her tummy in the mornings before breakfast and that time I never leave her on the tiles only on her playmat in her room. SHe was already turning 360 degrees and moving a little backwards. When I got back to KL and left her on the floor more often she learned to crawl the leapfrog way in 2 weeks and in 1 week she mastered sitting up. Now she moves so fast that we're so afraid that she'll get hurt someway or another. But that's life. They don't get hurt they won't learn lol.. she bumped her head on a few things a couple of times already coz buta buta crawl only.. don't know what's in front hahaha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But for me if it's not a very hard surface I'll just say it's ok no blood no need to cry.. then ignore her then she'll stop. But if hard surface like the table then I'll carry her coz she will cry until no voice come out and whole face red. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
