Babies learn to crawl anywhere from 6-11 months, most typically around the 8-9 month mark. This video is meant to educate parents on ways they can support their kiddos in learning to crawl.
If you have concerns about your baby's development please reach out to your pediatrician as well as calling a local pediatric physical therapist (physiotherapist). The average US pediatrician only spend 16 minutes with their kiddos, so your best option is to call a Physical Therapist for a gross motor evaluation which typically lasts 60 minutes and can educate you on how your child is moving and how to best support them.

Can you do a video on how important it is to crawl on all fours and not frog crawling and scooting to get places.
Hi Keshia, thank you so much for this comment. I absolutely can add that to my list of videos to share.
I go through some of the reasons in my free learning to crawl course here: drlaurenbaker.com/courses
The biggest take aways include:
Other types of crawling like booty scooting do not allow for inner hand strengthening which is connected with academic skills like writing. Crawling on all fours helps activate both halves of the brain which assists in priming pathways including using the left side and right side when you activate the right arm and left leg at the same time.
Those are only a few but hopefully get you a bit more info. The course has a little bit more :)
Hey Lauren this is a great very informative video can you do this with a real baby I feel like it will give more of a real life example if you could let me know when & if the video will be available the exact information with a real baby would be great
Hi June! Yes, I totally agree. If you go to the learning to crawl playlist here: czcams.com/play/PLxYt0JBWx03QAXXe0HL5A5WnN9Htyjx4K.html you will find a few more videos with real life humans that should help! Thanks so much for the comment and please let me know if you have more questions!
Heyy my baby is 6 months old and hes not rolling
