Question

at what age should an infant start to crawl

my daugter is alimost 2 months now and when i lay her face down she moves around alot
as in srewmming
do my question is what age is a propiate for her to start crawling???

Answer 1

the average for babies to start crawling is 6-8 months. Some babies will do it sooner, some will do it much later...and some babies never crawl at all. My oldest daughter started crawling at five months, and my youngest is one and just started to walk, but never crawled. But two months is way too early to actually crawl. But keep putting her on her stomach, that sort of tummy time will help her to learn to crawl sooner. Good luck.

Answer 2

At 2 months old, babies will squirm a bit or perhaps even scream if they don't like being on their tummies. Most can push up a bit or will at least try to push up.

Babies crawl around 6-8 months, give or take a few. My oldest daughter crawled around 10 months. My youngest crawled at 4 months. It really all depends. Generally a child who is lightweight and energetic will crawl earlier than a child who is a heavier weight and not so active.

Your daughter is doing what is right for her. Just watch and enjoy!

Answer 3

my son will be 8 months old on the 21st of the month, and he hasn't started crawling yet (not for lack of trying). He gets up on his hands and knees, belly off the ground, and rocks back and forth. Most infants start to crawl between 6 and 9 months, generally scoot around 5 months (or so), and walking around a year old.... these are just guidlines, though, and all babies are different.

Answer 4

Most children crawl between 8 and 12 months. Some never crawl. Your daughter will be pushing up on her arms before too long. At a month and a half, my daughter had her pictures done, holding herself up on her arms. So every baby is different. My daughter is now 8 months and has started doing the rocking thing, where they push up on their hands and knees and rock back and forth. Sorry, but you've still got a little while.

Answer 5

She should be getting short (less than 5 minutes)supervised amounts of tummy time so that she can practice holding her heard up, but you are going to have to wait at least six or seven more months for her to start crawling. She has to be able to sit up by herself first, and that doesn't typically happen until around month six. After she is comfortable with sitting she will probably try putting her hands out in front of herself and rocking back and forth. When you see that sort of behavior, you know she is close.

Answer 6

Around 2 months your baby will most likely start rolling over, around 4-5 months your baby will probubly start scooting and around 6 months the baby will get up on all fours and attempt tp crawl. All babies are diffrent your baby might crawl early or wait until later. I have actually seen babies walk before they ever crawl. Good luck and god bless your little one

Answer 7

All kids are different but generally they will start to crawl around 3 to 6 months. Some really want to do it and will start early, others will almost walk before they crawl.

Answer 8

She is not going to crawl at 2 months. All babies squirm around when they are on their belly, unless they are super tired. The earliest baby I've personally known to crawl was 6 months, and that was very unusual. You should get the book "What to expect the first year". You are bound to have many more questions of this type and it's kind of the "bible" of beginner parenting. I still refer to it though I'm on my 7th baby!

Answer 9

2 months is way to early to expect crawling. Most babies don't crawl proficiently until 7months-1 year in some cases. If you go to www.verybestbaby.com, they give you a timeline of when you may be able to expect your baby to do certain things. Hope you find this useful.

Answer 10

She will definately not be crawling anytime soon. It is impossible and she is not developed to do this yet. She is squirming possibly because she is uncomfortable laying on her stomach. She will be ready to crawl when she is ready to explore..which is not for another few months.
