Pivoting comes before crawling so you've likely nothing to worry about. The so called average windows for everything just scare the hell out of us all and usually there is nothing to worry about. My pal had a baby who didn't crawl until 14 months but he is now 2 years 3 months and totally on track for everything, its definitely too soon to worry. Sounds like your little one is definitely progressing fine.

Your baby sounds perfectly fine. She might crawl and/or pull herself up to the furniture in another month or so. Not all babies follow the guidelines.

No you do not need to be concerned I have multiple mum friends whose children were the same. One of my mum friends her son didn't start even trying to walk until 2. It's all good mama 😊
