How can I encourage my baby to crawl? He is 8m and seems to have a very passive personality. If his toys are out of reach, he will try to extend his hands to reach but if cant he will just settle without them. tried all mthds to put his fave toys nearer/ further away and not pick out toys for him but none works. He also doesn't pass objects from hand to hand & dislike holding on objects. the only thing he can hold really well is his milk bottles during feeds. Any one face similar situation too? The pd doesn't seems very worried about it but I am!

Try something else to interest him? Demonstrate to him or hold his hand and rehearse with him? And clap and sound v happy for him?

I think you shouldn't worry much, baby is still learning and will pick up his own pace as time goes by. keep encouraging though!

some crawl some skip crawling stage. don't worry. you should only worry if baby does not stand or walk after 1 year old.

I encourage them by showing it to them... or find his favorite toy/pillow/any item to persuade them to crawl to reach..

It could be just his personality! My boy didn’t crawl much too and went straight to walking.

Don't worry about crawling! Both my boys skipped crawling totally! it's perfectly normal too.

I cheer & clap loudly. Keep praising him & make exaggerates motion

i encourage mine by putting remote controllers 🤣
