What should I do if my baby can't crawl after more than eight months?

Many people who have fed their children know that when a child reaches seven months old, he or she will slowly learn to crawl. If the child cannot crawl, this will make many parents worried. Nowadays, people are paying attention to eugenics and good parenting. Parents want to improve anything that is not good for the child or has an impact on the child. What should I do if the baby who is more than eight months old still cannot crawl?

1. At the beginning, you can put him on his stomach at one end of the carpeted room, and immediately put a novel toy in front of him (or put a novel toy first), about 50 cm away from his hands. He needs to move his body a little to reach it.

2. Use words to encourage him to move forward.

3. When he tries hard to crawl to the toy and gets it, praise him strongly to make him feel a sense of success.

4. If the child does not crawl forward and changes from prone position to sitting position or lying on his back, do not criticize him. You can wait for a while and then continue training. Haha, for babies, crawling is an excellent whole-body exercise. It not only trains the coordination ability of babies' hands, eyes, body, legs and other parts, but also allows babies to face the world positively earlier, actively contact and recognize things, and promote the development of babies' cognitive abilities. In addition, crawling is a more intense activity for babies and consumes a lot of energy. It has been determined that crawling consumes twice as much energy as sitting and twice as much energy as lying down. This will help children eat more and sleep better, thereby promoting their physical growth and development.

Also note the following issues:

Crawling Clothing

The baby wears a lot, but the two-piece clothes are not suitable for crawling. When teaching your baby to crawl, it is best to put him in a jumpsuit. The top and pants of this kind of clothes form a whole, which will not expose the baby's waist and belly when crawling. At the same time, the clothes are form-fitting without too much cumbersome things, which will not affect the baby's interest in crawling. Be careful not to have large decorations or buttons on the front of the clothing to prevent the baby from getting hurt when lying down.

Babies a few months old are very light and may not rub their skin when crawling. Older babies, due to their increased weight, crawl on their elbows and knees, which can easily cause their skin to be rubbed. Therefore, it is best to wear elbow pads and knee pads when crawling. The clothes you wear should be loose, comfortable, soft, and not hinder movement.

Crawling Location

The bed and the floor at home are the best places for babies to crawl. When crawling on the ground, you need to consider the material of the ground. If it is too cold or too hard, it will be uncomfortable for the baby. The effective remedy is to lay a carpet on the ground, or you can use a cleverly assembled plastic mat to create a small piece of space. Smooth floor leather can reduce the resistance of baby crawling.

When children are crawling, you must pay attention to the contents introduced above, and when children are crawling, you must encourage them more and encourage them to keep moving forward. Many children do not know how to crawl, but because they are too lazy and give up halfway through climbing. In this way, it is difficult for children to learn to crawl. Therefore, parents must use something to attract their children's interest and cheer them on.
