What should I do if my baby can't crawl for more than 7 months?

Parents value and pay attention to each growth stage of their baby after birth. They can find a lot of fun in the baby's growth. After 6 months, the baby's body development is very fast. The fast-growing children can already sit up, and some can crawl. After 7 months, they can crawl and turn over by themselves, and can stand for a while with support. However, some babies have poor physical development and cannot keep up with the growth of each stage. So what should I do if the baby can't crawl after more than 7 months?

Children can be trained to crawl after six months. Place the child on the carpet, tidy up the surrounding items, and put away dangerous items such as electrical sockets on the ground. Place your child’s favorite toys where he can’t reach them, but not too far away. If the baby wants to get them, he can just move forward and get them. The child must first roll over onto his stomach and then reach. At the beginning, the child moves forward with his belly close to the ground, without using any strength in his front and hind limbs. The mother can push the baby's feet at this time to encourage the baby to push forward. Gradually, the child will learn to support the body with the upper limbs, push hard with the lower limbs, and crawl forward in a coordinated manner.

Learning to crawl is a process. Mothers need to be very patient and play with their babies for a while every day. The children will gradually become proficient.

After a child learns to crawl, he or she will expand the range of his or her activities and will no longer stay where he or she is placed. Mothers can hide their children’s toys behind them and entice their children to find them. The child will be very happy when he finds the toy. Crawling games can also be played from easy to difficult, from near to far, by changing toys and methods to bring pleasure to children.

When playing games with babies, don’t worry about repetition. Children can only learn skills by playing a game repeatedly, and babies will not get bored.

Crawling games can broaden children's horizons and their understanding of the world better than learning to sit. Therefore, crawling is a very important stage in promoting brain development before children can walk independently, and parents should pay full attention to it.

Crawling can train the movements of the body and limbs, and through the command of the brain, coordinate crawling forward, backward and moving. Crawling to find toys will make children realize that invisible things can be found. This is also a new starting point for babies to understand the world.

A 5-6 month old baby can support the weight of his upper body with both hands when lying in a prone position. If there is a toy in front of him that attracts him, he will try to crawl with his upper limbs and abdomen, but he can only turn in circles on the spot. If an adult holds the soles of the baby's feet with their hands while crawling, the baby can crawl forward. However, if the hands that are pressing against the soles of the feet are released, the harder the child pushes forward, the further his body will move backward because his legs have no strength to use. To train the baby to crawl, you can use a towel or your hand to support the baby's abdomen so that the baby can practice crawling using the strength of his limbs.

What should I do if my baby can't crawl after more than 7 months? In fact, some babies can't crawl even when they can walk. This is related to the child's exercise, physical exercise, physique, etc. If the baby can't crawl at seven months, you can first give the baby appropriate exercises to let the baby get used to the fun of crawling. If the baby really can't crawl, don't worry about its development. As long as the child is not sick and the weight and height meet the requirements, the baby's crawling can be improved by strengthening the exercises in the future.
