Your going to hate this answer. Your baby will crawl when her brain and muscles are mature and developed enough to do so. My son had really good head control by a few weeks of age. By 3 months of age he was scooting all over the place backwards and in circles. He never rolled over til 7 months of age at least not that I saw. He's now 8 months of age and shortly before he turned 8 months he went forward once and fell then all of a sudden the next day he was crawling like a mad man, pulling himself up on everything and attempting to take a few steps. He was a month premature so I was concerned about his development even though his Dr never was. And to see him now you'd never know that I took him crying to his Dr asking for a CT scan to make sure he was neurologically okay since he wasn't crawling when the books claimed he would. Let her develop at her own pace you cant rush it and nothing you can do will make her do it before she is ready. Make sure she's getting enough tummy time she'll get the hang of it.

Good question...my daughter is 3 months old too.
I'm waiting for her to roll over on her own before having her crawl...lol...
Has your daughter rolled over yet? Or has she reached and grabbed things on her own (toys that are held in front of her)..?
Mine hasn't done either of the above. She will hold things that I put in her hands but won't reach and grab them on her own....
Be patient...look on the bright side, you know exactly where she'll be all the time :)

Every baby is different. My daughter refused to crawl until she was 10 months.
Lots of tummy time

When she is ready. All babies develop at different times. My daughter was 6 months old and my son was around 4 months.

My daughter just turned 8 months old. She can go backwards just fine, but can't quite move forward yet. She rolls around and sits herself back up again and it very content.
Enjoy the stage when they become expressive and learn to play, but haven't become mobile yet. They are fun to play with and you always know where they are!

when she is ready, don't rush it, enjoy this time. I know so many people that can't wait for baby to do this or do that, but once they are 2 years old, your going to regret rushing them. They will be so independent, they won't need you for so much, your going to miss this stage. Enjoy this time with your baby.
