Not crawling?

[cece673]

Anyone else's LO not crawling yet? DS rolled really early but has since basically stopped rolling and doesn't seem anywhere near crawling. He hates being on his stomach so that's definitely part of it. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing with their LO.

Not crawling here either. Rolled at 3.5 months and now rolls everywhere and likes being on her stomach, but no crawling. She did get mad the other night and got on her knees for a millisecond but that's it. DD1 didn't crawl until 10 months or so.

Ok thanks, so there's hope. To be honest it's the no longer rolling thing that concerns me the most. He'll roll onto his stomach occasionally but I never ever see him roll from front to back anymore.

My LO is not crawling either. He started to roll over and then stopped. He started sitting w/no problem and I noticed as he tried to reach for toys while sitting he would cry out in pain. Turns out he has some minor neck, shoulder, spine and hip stuff. He is under the care of a ped chiro and he is responding well to treatment. In 2 weeks of appts, slowly starting to roll again.

Huh...that's interesting. My DS kind of does the same. I assumed it was because he was frustrated that he couldn't reach whatever toy he was trying to get but this makes me wonder...

cece673 - I found touching his neck was what really set him off.

If you would like more details of how I decided to take action, please let me know and I will pm you. I am not comfortable sharing the details publicly on the forum.

Rolling over here too. Plus she knows she can push herself around but not on knees yet.

No crawling here yet either.

Da isn't crawling yet either. He was rolling from back to stomach at 2 months so I was sure he would crawl early. Not so much. He hates being up on his hands but his elbows are fine. He'll actually get up on his toes when on his tommy and loves walking around holding our hands. At this point I don't know if he'll crawl. I just try to remind myself they all do their own thing when their ready.

Levi isn't crawling either. He wants to "walk" all the time, is pulling up on things and creeping along the couch. He also has no fear and just lets go, but has yet to figure out that he needs to move his feet if he is going to do that. Are any of you being sent for an EI evaluation? We are going back for a second doctor evaluation in 2 weeks and if he still isn't crawling we will be sent for an EI eval.

I don't mean to pry and if you don't feel comfortable answering please don't feel the need to, but is there something besides crawling that he's not doing? Our Dr isn't the least bit concerned that DS doesn't crawl yet. My understanding is that some kids never crawl and that's all within the realm of normal. I'm wth you on the fearlessness thigh though. DS has all the confidence in is walking abilities. I let go of his hands and he tries to take off! Sorry bud, you're not quite there yet.

I always thought that some kids never crawled too and it was ok but my doctor seems to feel that it is important that he do. The only other things he isn't doing is he can't clap and he can't say dada but does say ball, string, mama, milk, and ok. So dada doesn't really bother me, but apparently our doctor is concerned about all of that put together. He does have congenital hypothyroidism so she may be being overly cautious as we have to be very on top of things as well.

No crawling here

My kid doesn't clap and hasn't said any discernible words! But he crawls like a mad man and pulls up on everything. I'm convincing myself that it all evens out in the end.

BABIES ARE SAYING WORDS AT THIS POINT?!?!?! WHAT!!1) We are most definitely not saying words on purpose and 2) when did they get to be so old??

Interesting, DS doesn't say dada or clap either.  I know that crawling is good for their motor skills, but I would think that even if they don't craw they would develop those skills eventually, just not as early.  Maybe I'll double check with our DR at his next appointment to be sure everything's on track.  I hope everything works out for you!!  I think someone else already said it, but every kid evens out in the end.  I have a niece who never really crawled, maybe a bit of army crawling, but at 5 years old you can tell she's super intelligent.  It clearly didn't hold her back!

Thanks for sharing, everyone! I think I would feel more confident if DS was trying to move at all, but he's not. He barely rolls, is definitely not pulling up or trying to walk. He loves to sit and will just do that. He rolls to his stomach to sleep and that's it. We have his 9 month appt next week though so I'll ask his ped about it.
