Hi.
First time mum, I’ve tried to stay calm and not frantic about my baby turning 1 and still not crawling, but in the last day he started to and I was so elated that I didn’t to start with realise he was crawling by using his left foot flat on the floor then bring his right knee after. Kind of a half crawl, he’s always hated any attempt over the last few months to encourage knee crawling, whenever I got him in position he’d just cry or splay his legs out immediately. To be honest and maybe bad mum moment I just thought he was lazy, he reaches for toys and kind of shuffles a little on his bum and likes being on his feet with support. He hit his head lifting early, sitting early and bang on with his unassisted sitting. But has struggled with moving around,I guess what I’m asking is does anyone else Lo do this or any advice on how to help him? He’s at a point where he’s been frustrated for so long not being able to that he’s so excited to be on the move, but I don’t want it to hinder his development by crawling this way. We’ve spent the day trying to help him get on both knees but he won’t have it even a little and seems to confuse him. Any help advice would be much appreciated. Thank you
