need some reassurance that it does vary loads and ds will start crawling forwards instead of backwards soon!

It really does vary loads, they're all different. My dd was crawling at 7m (commando style, she never did do the all-fours crawl), and walked two days before her first birthday.

dd never really crawled was more of a bottom shuffler and didn't start walking until 13 months old but ds crawled at about 7 months and was walking properly at just 9 months, I was gobsmacked to say the least.

it does vary so much... my ds started crawling commando style at about 9 months and is now at 11 months crawling up on knees, and pulling himself up to stand - but not walking... however my dh started to walk at 7 months so the inlaws seem to think he's a bit slow!

ds 6 mths walked 9 mths
dd crawled commando 9 mths, 4 pt crawled at 19 mths and walked at 26 mths.

sat up at 4 months, dragged himself along at 7 months, crawled at 8 months ,cruised at 8 months, walked at 12 months... my friends baby has only started walking and he is 20 months so don't worry every baby is different!

DD crawled at 8.5 months and then walked at 10 months. She was cruising earlier than crawling though, and only crawled when necessary.

frankie26 · 12/05/2005 20:29

DD crawled at 9 months and walked at 1 year

DS crawled at 8 months and is now 10 months and starting to toddle with assistance

zebraX · 12/05/2005 20:39

Crawling forward: 6m, 7.5m, 8m
Walking: 9m, almost 10m, almost 11m.

Obviously, my youngest is a real dollop of lead....
I know a lot children who didn't crawl until 12 months, no walking until 18m+... they were "normal, too.

Hi beansmum

Ds1 started crawling at 6 months and walking 12 months. ds2 5 and a half is not showing any signs yet. What I learnt is you have to motivate your child by putting him on the floor instead of baby chair and also by putting toys infront of him.

dinny · 13/05/2005 22:06

dd started crawling at 11 months and walking atg 12.

ds started crawling at 6 months and his standing up now at 8 months.
