How to effectively teach your baby to crawl

Many parents start helping their babies learn to crawl and walk when they are still young. If you want your baby to learn these skills quickly, you must pay attention to certain methods. You should play with your baby more often, help them learn to crawl, and train their hand-foot coordination.

1. Let the crawling baby play with him/her

If you have a baby who can crawl and play with your baby, I believe you will have unexpected gains. Children have a strong ability to imitate and are full of energy. Babies like children very much and want to play with them. When they see others crawling, they will want to learn. As long as they want to learn, they will learn to crawl quickly.

2. Parents help their babies learn to crawl

Because the baby's hand-foot coordination ability is not very good, parents can help the baby appropriately. One person stands in front, holding something the baby likes to encourage him to crawl, while another person stands behind, pushing the baby's feet with appropriate force, making sure to push hard one by one.

3. Swimming exercises are good for babies to learn to crawl

When swimming, the hands and feet are constantly moving, so they are exercised. Crawling requires the arms to support the upper body, and the feet move like swimming, which is very helpful for babies to learn to crawl.

4. Touching helps babies learn to crawl

Infant massage has many benefits for babies (see another experience of Eyelash for details). When massaging the back, the baby needs to lie on his stomach, which exercises the baby's arm strength. Moreover, if the baby is a little older and lies on his stomach during massage, he may be curious and crawl forward by himself.
