Frustrated baby!!

Any ideas?

6 month old DD2 is a very frustrated little lady!!

She sits in her sitting position playing with DD1 beautifully, however as soon as DD1 gets up she leans forward onto her belly brings her knees up but hasn't got the strength in her arms to get crawling. As soon as he arms give up she gets really pissed off and starts screaming the house down!! It's completely mucked up her tummy time because she then refuses to go on her belly because she can't do what she wants to do.

Is it a case of just letting nature take its course or is there anything I can do (maybe exercise wise) to help her get on her way?

She's so funny... Whilst she's crying she stops, looks at me as if to say "You know what I want to do, so bloody help me!!" and then starts screaming again!!

Get her some tiny barbells to beef up those pecs?

She'll get it eventually. Does standing over her and giving her a slight lift get her going? May also be fun teaching her to move on her back by only kicking, if you want to risk that mobility without direction!

I'm finding this age slightly frustrating. Ds is 6 months he can sit for a few minutes but wants to lean forward all the time then ends up on his belly crying. He can't roll either so can't move around. It means he's grumpy quite a bit at the moment. I'm hoping it passes quickly and he gets slightly more mobile, although I hate the crawling stage!

Yeah, it’s annoying but it will pass. I spend most of the time sitting on the floor with my 7 month old helping him manoeuvre himself about whilst he screams in frustration when he can’t get where he wants to go.

Spoonblender PMSL 😂😂😂

Her problem is a soon as you lay her down she rolls straight on to her belly and then she gets majorly pissed off because she can't get on..she can roll back over but she won't because it's not what she wants to do!! I feel frustrated for her!! 😂

Mine was furious for months until he learnt to crawl. Some babies just want to get going I think!
