My son is Eight months. He is not crawling, Pulling up, or walking?

Question

He sits confident. But all want to do is be hold. He cries if he is sat down. that top in front of him does nothing for him. What can I do? Is there any tricks.

Answer 1

Be thankful. Hold him and he'll get to it eventually.
When the crawl and walk you don't get to hold them as much and they turn into little men right in front of your eyes, you lose your little baby.

Answer 2

I had a preemie, so she's behind in all of her milestones thus far. Whenever I would get concerned, ask her pediatrician, or have her therapist work with her on something, within a few weeks to a month she would start doing whatever I was concerned about.

Babies start their own milestones when they are ready and develop at their own pace. My only suggestion would be not to push your son. The more you push, the less likely he will want to learn. As far as crawling, my daughter didn't do so until 11 months and then started pulling up a month after. She's now 15 months and still not walking, but shifting her weight nicely and transferring from sofa to something that she can grab onto while standing. Just be patient and keep practicing. Your little tiger will be moving soon and when he does, look out!!

Answer 3

OK, first of all, don't worry, mine weren't crawling or anything by that age either. And pulling up comes after crawling. Secondly, you should make a fun place for him that is safe, like a blanket on the floor with some favorite books and toys around him, and start leaving him sitting there for 5 minutes at a time, several times a day, even if he cries. Set a timer; ignore the crying till it goes off, then cheerfully pick him up and get on with the day. Lenthen the time by another five minutes every few days, EVEN IF HE CRIES. Make sure it is a fun environment and that he's not poopy or hungry or tired, so that it is UP TO HIM to have fun or to cry. Eventually he will get it. Good luck.

Answer 4

He is well within the developmental milestones for his age. He will probably begin to crawl soon, but this would be early for pulling up or walking. If you see no signs that he is even trying to move around in the next month, then do take him to the doctor for a check up. Most babies don't start walking until about 13 months or so although many do start earlier.Truly, you can't hold a baby too much. You are his favorite toy! I walked around with all my kids glued to my hip most of their first year. None of them were really interested in toys until they were much older, but they enjoyed seeing what mom was doing and interacting.

Answer 5

Kids develope at different times. And I'm sure he has some way of getting around whether it be rolling everywhere of pulling himself like military style through the house. My son crawled at 6 months. My daughter military scooted for 10 months before she finally crawled! My four month old daughter, already gets up on her knees! Kids just develop differently. I know of a kid who didn't crawl until he was a year old. Please don't judge your kid on what people say is the norm. Because only your kid knows his "norm". He'll do it when he's ready, but if you are worried about developmental issues, ask his pediatrician.

Answer 6

I had a good experience with my daughter because thats all she wants to do. so imagine putting a 8 month old to sleep who just pulls up and stands there and screams. None the less try letting him cry it out. At first she never would let me lie her on her tummy but to sleep but I knew she had to develop those muscles and eventually she did start topull up and crawl. Now she's our little adventurer.

Answer 7

sweetie....... Just be more patient. i know you want your son to develope the same rate as other babies but PATIENCE is the key word for you he's just being aregular cry baby. After all my nephew didnt start talking until he was 5 years old. and he has no disabilities he is just fine. So everyone has their own process rate. When gets older he will do those things so dont worry about it hes just fine so dont sweat it.
