Most babies learn to crawl between the ages of 6 and 10 months. Your baby may opt for another method of locomotion around this time, though — like bottom shuffling (scooting around on his bottom, using a hand behind and a foot in front to propel himself), slithering on his stomach, or rolling across the room. Some babies skip crawling altogether and move directly to pulling up, standing, and walking. Since the "Back to Sleep" campaign was initiated in 1994, more babies seem to be crawling later or skipping it completely. (The campaign aims to reduce the risk of SIDS by encouraging parents to put babies to sleep on their back.) Don't worry about his style; it's getting mobile that's important, no matter how your baby does it.

Generally infants begin crawling between 6 & 8 months. Please keep in mind that all children develop at their own rates and there probably isn't anything to be alarmed about if a child is not crawling by this age.

My daughter and most of her friends were around 6 months, but we do have one baby in the group that never crawled, just started to walk around 1 year. Everybaby is different.

It depends on what the baby has learned while in your tummy. Brilliance starts early with allowing a newborn to listen to soft music while inside of your womb. Usually,..tiny tots start crawling as soon as they build the muscle up to hold themselves above ground. My niece started crawling when she was 4-5 months.

around 8 months, maybe a little earlier. They will start pulling themself around with there arms (army crawl) before they actually get up and crawl. Every child develops at thier own rate. so dont be worried if they are not crawling when you expect it.
