“What are some signs that crawling may be coming for my child? I’m seeing more movement when they are on the floor, but can’t tell if it’s going to be soon.”
ANSWER- Such an exciting time! The crawling “ministones” as I like to call them can include:
-
Pivoting on their belly in a clockwise/counter clockwise motion.
-
Pushing backwards on their belly
-
Pulling themselves forward/army crawling (though this isn’t one that every baby does!)
-
Rocking on hands and knees
-
Transitioning from sitting into hands and knees or to their belly
-
The down dog position (bottom in the air with hands and knees on floor)
SO exciting and hope that helps!
