Mumsnet Talk

Stupid question time boys and girls. DS is 10 months and just started crawling a couple of days ago. He was really going for it at first but has now suddenly stopped. Has he forgotten that he can do it, or does he just not fancy it?

First time mum in case you hadn't noticed

They all go through phases, My DD rolled over at 5months and then never did it again until 7 months! First time mum here and I panic over everything! Perfectly normal!

Thanks Longo.

They often start doing something, then stop as they focus on mastering something else and then they come back to it...Don't worry, it's normal. My 9 mo DD was almost crawling few weeks ago, then sort of bum-shuffled, she's back to crawling in earnest now!
