What should I do if my baby can't crawl at 11 months old?

Many babies will start to learn to crawl after they reach a certain age. People often say that babies who can crawl are very smart. If the baby cannot crawl, then parents will be a little worried, worried that the child will not be very smart because of this reason, so they take various measures for the child, but in the end the child still can't crawl. So what should the baby do if he still can't crawl at 11 months?

Crawling is a baby's survival instinct, crawling is the baby's nature. Generally speaking, babies don't need to be taught to crawl. Babies will crawl by themselves when they reach a certain age. However, some babies just can't crawl. There are many reasons why babies can't crawl. What should you do if your baby can't crawl?

Most babies learn to crawl between 6 and 10 months. However, your baby may also adopt other ways of moving during this period, such as moving on his butt, crawling on his belly, or rolling over. Some babies skip the crawling stage entirely and go straight to learning to stand, stand, and walk. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about your baby’s specific way of moving. The most important thing is that the child can move.

1. Provide more opportunities: When the baby is three or four months old, if you always put the baby in the stroller, the baby will hardly have the opportunity to crawl actively.

2. Imitate crawling: Some babies cannot crawl, probably because they don’t know how to do it. Babies have a strong ability to imitate, so you can find a child who can crawl to play with them. Put the two babies together and encourage them to crawl. When the baby sees other children crawling, he will imitate them and quickly learn to crawl.

3. Proper assistance! The biggest challenge for babies when crawling is how to coordinate the movements of their limbs. They often can take care of their hands but not their feet. At this time, parents can stand behind the baby, put both palms on the soles of the baby's feet, push one of the baby's feet, and when he crawls forward a little, push the other foot. This way, help him through the crawling stage.

If the baby still cannot crawl when he is 11 months old, you need to find out the reason, know why the child cannot crawl, and then make timely improvements for the child. If the floor is too slippery, you need to put a crawling mat for the baby so that the child can learn to crawl more easily. It doesn't matter if the child cannot crawl. Babies who cannot crawl will also be able to walk when they are older.
