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!

I crawl together with my baby. yes, it does sounds funny. when I see that she has the signs of crawling, I guide her. I place her on the playmat, and I'll crawl around to show her.. slowly, I'll lift up her butt, and see if she wants to. if not let her be on tummy time. it takes time. slowly. some babies skipped crawling stage.
