Anything I can do to help DD

[kellieb7]

DD is 8.5 months old and is desperate to crawl and is really getting frustrated now to the point where she screams every time I put her down on the floor, she has no interest in playing with her toys just clearly focused on crawling. The issue I have is I know she needs to go on the floor in order to practice/learn but she really is beside herself in a very short space of time. Could you lovely mummy's recommend anything to make this learning experience any better for DD. TIA x

You can't help her to crawl I'm afraid. They just learn by themselves when they are ready. My DD got quite frustrated for a couple of weeks before she worked out how to crawl - at 8.5 months. Your DD could be nearly there...

I hope so, it's horrible seeing her so upset and its also being a hard couple of weeks not being able to put her down to play without her screaming her little head off.
