When did your baby start crawling?

[AlCookie]

I know all babies are different and reach milestones at their own pace but just wanted to know.

My son is 24 weeks and is almost crawling - he hasnt really figured out how his hands should move and mostly falls on his nose :P

its a very cute sight --- in position on all fours, rocking front n back, launch... boink on the nosey!!! :D

Both mine were some of the earliest of their peer groups to crawl. They were "caterpillar" crawling at 5 months, and up on hands and knees, going where they wanted by 6 months. Cruising at 8 months, but held of walking til about 15 months.
HTH

DD was commando crawling at six months, hands & knees at seven, cruising at eight, first steps at ten and proper walking by 12. That's all on the early side as I understand it, but she's always been a very physically active baby.

11.5 mo and 10 mo.

10 months, 11 months and this little fella was 8 months - think he will be early doing everything, obvs wants to join in with his big brothers!

About 7 months I think.

Mine was about standard, at 8mo. A friend said that the 'rocking' was a sure sign it was on the cards, and sure enough he started after a week or so of rocking.

Careful what you wish for though

Yes and be prepared for him to just wake up one morning and do it. It can be quite a shock!

My son was about nine months crawling and 14 months walking.

My daughter turns 1 on sunday and she was crawling at 7 months and is so close to walking.

Babies tend to do things when you're least expecting it.

6 months for dd, 7 months for ds. Dd crawled (commando) before she could sit. In fact she still commando crawls (now 9 months) and keeps pulling up on everything. She doesn't seem strong enough yet so don't expect her to be walking for another few months whereas ds started walking at 10 months.

5 months for DD1, 7 months for DD2

DS crawled at 8.5 months.

DD did some odd sitting thing with one leg behind her and pulling herself along thing at about 10.5 months. She didn't crawl properly until she was about 2.5 I think

DS was exactly the same as babydolls DD.

(She did walk at 15 months as did DS)

Jolly wow. Bet he's a climber now too then

I think mine is a bit of a freak then! He's having a bloody good go at 14 weeks. At this rate he will be commando crawling within weeks.

He sure is, babydoll. Having to rethink how childproof our house is, again!

my youngest comando crawled (and was pretty fast at it) at around 6 months but didn't properly crawl on hands and knees until 10 months - all of my boys have crawled at 10 months.

My son never crawled and walked straight when he was about 1 year of age. My daughter crawled at 9 months and walked at 1 yr.

Erm, don't want to put a dampener on it but DS was rocking at 6 months.

He didn't crawl til 10 months! Spent the best part of 4 months rocking then face planting

Babies are weird. Fact.

Wow! 4 months of rocking?!?!? Wow thats a long time!

My little one keeps plonking on his nose. Has been doing this for a week now. Lets see..,,

Yep, 4 months of well meaning relatives saying "ooh he'll be off before you know it"!

It seems to have become a pattern. He grew his first 2 teeth at 4 months, then spent the next 4 months with 2 teeth. The next 6 all grew within a week, 4 months later he's now sprouting the next lot.

5 months and it was a shock!

5 months
