    This was great to see! My little one does the army crawl, the bottom shuffling, and rolling across the room (or bed). We were concern she is not going to do the traditional crawl and we were concerned. But I’m happy to see that it’s okay

      Did she ever end up crawling on all fours? My 11.5 month old is great at army crawling, extremely fast actually, and can army crawl up steep surfaces but he doesn’t want to 4 point crawl!

      Mine is doing the exact same thing, he is really fast doing the army crawl, he gets on all fours but just rock and and fourth. He is in onesies most of the time ​so I think letting them get their bare skins on their knees and feet will help with their grip and confidence to move forward on all fours. Some babies just adapt this as their crawking style but I will get mine to play on he matt in shorts and see how it goes.@kutie216

    I was so worried about my 7 month old because he's been doing the step crawl. I had seen another video and read articles that this method will delay their development or that it means something is wrong. I think in my heart, I knew nothing was wrong, but it is nice to have a professional to ease my worry. Thank you so much for this video and including videos of each example!

    I appreciate this information. My 8 month old does the step crawl most of the time but he also does the traditional crawl. There is another video on TH-cam that states if your child step crawls it is signs of developmental delay and it is because the child did not encounter enough tummy time. I’m so glad I located your video to put my mind at ease.

    My baby (25 weeks old) just started rocking in the four point position and when he wants to reach a toy, he bravely just yeets himself straight forward. I'm impressed by his ability to catch the fall with his face without pain, even proceeds to repeat it a few times. Babys really are a miracle

    He is 11 months old. I was getting concerned. But this is very helpful. Amazing how in a few years some of these mom fears will be a distant memory.

    Dear Emma, i wanna thank you so much for this video! Because it's really gives me a peace of mind🙏
    In our culture most pediatrician insists that the baby should fist start crawling Army style and then only move to the traditional all four way. And all other formats of crawling are the deviation. Plus if a baby is not crawling by 6 months he is delayed in development.
    And this makes so many parents including me to worry and go see different doctors.
    But deep inside i do believe that all these ways are acceptable as long as baby learns moving

    • @krystaltia560
      @krystaltia560 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      My understanding is that they should be completely barefoot around home until they’ve mastered walking. As they are learning to walk the shape of their foot is changing/developing. Shoes can really hinder that process.

    • @Alabanza.Musicversity
      @Alabanza.Musicversity 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      From my research in early childhood development, shoes should be avoided at all cost especially when walking. Besides, there are soooo many brain and body benefits to being barefoot no matter what age but especially for babies who get feedback from their feet in sensory exploration.
      Loads of research to be found out there on being benefits of being barefoot, especially on grass, wood or soil/sand for grounding.

      @@sapnaaadyavlogs9106 hi friend! Yes, my little one is cautious and it took her a little while to transition towards different forms of movement. When she was around a year old, she began trying to stand more (assisted and unassisted, especially pulling herself to stand). Just a little after her first birthday, she began cruising (very tentatively taking steps while holding on to furniture). Around 14 months, we bought her a push-cart (a balancing toy with wheels where she could walk around while pushing the cart). She took her first unassisted steps by herself a little after 14 months, but she didn’t really transition to walking as her main way of moving around until a little after 15 months. She is now 20 months old and is starting to run.

      I’m so glad you described this! My second is doing this. He was never a fan of tummy time & would always just try to go to sleep instead. Now he is about to be 8 months. His crawling style is very much what you’ve described, pivoting on his tummy, pushing off with his toes more than planting/pulling his hands. He’s become quite speedy and efficient! I’ve been giving him more tummy time at home and I know they are at daycare as well.

I have done the exercise of laying her over my leg and she can hold herself on 2 hands and even lift herself up on them. The only issue is that she chooses not to lift herself up most of the time.

    Hi. I have read so many things about army crawling as "atypical development". I wonder how true that it and what's ur thought on it? My baby is 11 months and been army crawling with occasional rocking on 4s. Thank you.

    My little one isn't quite crawling but she moves forward like an inchworm but she uses more of her lower body. She's also almost 5 months next week.

    Love your videos! They’ve been so so helpful! We have a bum shuffler and am trying to encourage her to move into traditional crawling. Bit concerned about hip development if she hasn’t got the pressure on the hip joint in the crawling position - should I be? When she bum shuffles her legs are spread wide apart (brilliant yoga move putting her weight on her arms)

    @adrienntoth4316 ปีที่แล้ว

    How would you help a baby crawling who's left radius bone ia missing aswell his left humeral head is missing? Trying to figure out a safe way to help him crawling, his elbow is stiff so his left arm is straight with limited bending but not intentional as he can't bend it for himself and his wrist is rotated inward. Therefore the traditional tummy time is not working for him, we have to use a pad underneath his left shoulder /chest for tummy time to get to the same level with his right arm. Is there any safe way to support his development for crawling?

    @sianpropheta8043 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You mention being concerned if baby only uses one side to move, can you go into more detail regarding this. My little one is 9.5 months and just recently started moving from his sitting position. His left leg is folded in front of him (as if still in sitting position) and he extends his right leg back to push forward. His hands in contact with floor to balance, torso off ground.

    Kind of relieved rolling counts as crawling. Princess started rolling around 11m, corrected -1m. After the Beta-blocker therapy for a hemangioma stopped, she's even more energetic. Does the pivot and gets her bottom up when laying on her back (type: bridge) and recently on her belly (4 points). :-) but has fun rolling quickly and stretching her legs up.
    Yet, I feel guilty, I let her down or hold her back. though, it might be she just needed more time.

    So step crawl is normal ? My baby took her first crawl steps at 8 months. She’s 8 months a week now and is always getting into crawl position , then lifts on leg then gets back into sitting position. I think she’s going to end up step crawling.

  • @kayj9930
    @kayj9930 ปีที่แล้ว

    My 8 month old was using the rolling method to get to things just before turning 6months. She stopped and is now doing a combo of pivoting, pushing herself up onto her forearms (sometimes she can do it sometimes she can’t), army crawling, pushing herself backwards and trying to pull herself up. I’m assuming this is normal. It’s like she had something mastered and then she forgot and is now trying to master multiple things at once.

  • @GlammedByMoni
    @GlammedByMoni ปีที่แล้ว

    My baby is an inch warm but then the starts putting 1 foot tucked under as if she’s getting in a standing position the step and crawl. and the other day she got in a planking position with both of the feet planted on the ground but I wouldn’t be surprised she loves to stand, my only issue is that my daughter rarely rolls to her back even though I’ve seen her roll from tummy to back be she doesn’t care for it

    I know it’s something all babies do but honestly I’m in awe with my baby daughter’s progress! 😂
    My baby’s 5.5 months and she does a weird combination of army and inch warm crawling whereby her tummy & legs stay almost completely in completely in contact with floor but she also bring the one knee slightly to the side of her body and use her legs to advance together with her arms (she looks kind of like she’s wiggling side to side when crawling).

  • @jacquelineoverpeck4955
    @jacquelineoverpeck4955 ปีที่แล้ว

    As a pediatric OT, don't you feel it is very important for babies to get weight through their hands? They would not get this with going straight to cruising or with bottom scooting. Also, if a baby only rolls, are you concerned about fractionation, core strength, primitive reflexes?? Bottom scooting and rolling also do not allow them to learn reciprocation of their extremities which is very helpful in midline awareness and coordination later in life. I am interested in your input, thank you!!

  • @breannapiscitelli3941

    My daughter started crawling incredibly early but I’m wondering how to help her explore as well as ways to ease my anxiety about it. I have really really bad postpartum anxiety as well as just general anxiety disorder so her crawling is great but at the same time I want her to be able to explore without me being a helicopter mom. She is very random with milestones. She started pivoting and scooting around five months and then at exactly 6 months started crawling.

  • @amberanjum4076
    @amberanjum4076 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yeah my daughter does a combination of the mixed cross crawl and the bear crawl. Ive noticed she can transition very quickly from sitting to almost standing on her own but having to lean on objects or me. (Similar to cruising) but when im not in the room she uses the mixed cross crawl to find me

    • @Flipper86
      @Flipper86 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Will likely need to consult a doctor about plagiocephaly. @ 6 months you’ll want to do it soon. Also try not to leave baby on his/her back when not sleeping. Limit use of car seat or reclined position (bouncy seat, etc.). You can prop baby in the corner of a laundry basket as an inexpensive way of supported sitting (it also keeps toys mostly in reach to reduce frustration) and encourage tummy time.

  • @alejandragamache1763

    So is step crawl the same as three legged? They are okay? I heard it’s important to get babies to do symmetrical crawling though so when should I worry if three legged is all my baby prefers? Granted, he pulls up wonderfully and walks with assistant just fine.

  • @sunnyneonraye1459
    @sunnyneonraye1459 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    My little one experiments with different forms of mobility:
    Bum shuffle, roll, army crawl, and crusing.
    However he doesn't pivot much when on his tummy. He prefers sitting and reach out/leaning to work for toys, or rolling, or launching himself forward from a sitting position. Should I be concerned that he doesn't pivot much?
    Also, how do babies who cruise eventually move into pulling into a kneeling or standing position, and how can I help facilitate this without causing him to refuse sitting/tummy time?
    My worry is that since he hasnt been a fan of tummy time since sitting up, he doesn't really do 'transitional movements'.
    Note: if he's sitting on my leg with his knees at a right angle, he can stand up.

  • @PieceOfIslam
    @PieceOfIslam 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is the rolling crawl actually considered a true “crawling” style or is it just being able to roll both ways (not crawling yet)?
    My baby’s doctor considers it a gross motor delay as my 9 month child is also not yet pulling up to stand or going from lying on tummy/back to sitting. My baby does do the aeroplane/swimming, pushing to extended arms and pivoting though.
    Baby’s been rolling around from one side of the room to the other for ages (since about 7 months), but I’m concerned whether that’s considered crawling or not. Any help or resources would be appreciated!

    My son is 7 months and I think he’s gonna do the bear crawl like I did when I was a baby but he doesn’t lift his head up and yells at the floor or bed wherever he is crawling.
    Is there a trick or tips to help him learn to lift use his arms? Or will he eventually pick up on it as he gets stronger

    My baby is almost 7 months old. She now almost sits by herself and only crawl backwards, but she started to also lift on her knees and balance. I heard that it is not recommended to force your baby into sitting so soon,and it is more important to let the baby crawl instead,and only after that to teach her to sit. Is it right?

      Babysat twins one summer. One little girl got “stuck” under chair because she only knew how to crawl backwards. Meanwhile, the other little girl was mid bottle. It was at this moment mom decided to call and check in. Since I’d left the phone on the counter, I had to put the bottle down to answer. Needless to say, it was hard to reassure mom that everything was fine with both girls crying. 🥰🥰

      If she army crawling that great! I would make sure she has no socks on her feet that way she can start propelling her self forward. Babies will usually naturally move on to the step when their ready. A lot of people don’t realize that’s emu crawling is just has important at hand and knee crawling both are important for brain development.
