Crawling

Crawling is an exciting milestone! It helps your baby build strength and coordination and gives them a whole new way to explore.

Why it's good for your baby

Crawling helps your baby practice coordinating both sides of the body, builds arm and core strength, and develops hand-eye coordination.

Most babies start moving between 7 and 10 months. Some crawl on hands and knees; others roll, army crawl, or scoot on their bottoms.

Keep up tummy time. Give your baby plenty of open floor space and place toys just out of reach.

Try not to keep your baby in a stroller, swing, or seat for long stretches while awake.

If your baby isn't moving around by 12 months, or you have concerns, talk with your baby's doctor.
