My boy is nearly 11 months old and not showing any signs of crawling. Should I be worried? What age did your children crawl? Thanks

Both around 12/13 months. Can he sit unaided, does he reach out for things or bum shuffle at all?

some children never crawl. Don't worry.

DD1 started crawling around 11 months, then walked just after she turned 1, she didn't really bum shuffle either just rolled to where she wanted to get too.

DD2 never really crawled, she had this odd one knee one foot upright shuffle, then didn't walk until 16 months.

They all do it in their own way and time, so as long as he is ok with other things like sitting and generally has good stability then I would just give it more time.

Not till 10.5 months. Then walked at 16 months. Try not to worry / compare!
