How many months does the baby begin to crawl
Boys and girls develop at different rates.The baby's build also influences when he starts crawling. Most often, this moment comes a little later for boys, and plump children are lazier than thin ones.
First, children begin to crawl on their tummy, andthen learn to move on all fours.

Of course, he still does not have the strength, first he tries to raise himself on the handles, but gradually pushes his legs and crawls. Gradually the legs and hands of the baby are strengthened and from five to six months it turns out to get crawling to the intended goal. Catching is useful for the physical development of the child. It helps to strengthen the muscles of the back, preparing the body for walking, and trains the brain, making it difficult to alternate the movements of the legs and pens. Crawling baby learns gradually, starting with the movement on the tummy, then moving around with jerks, first the knobs, then the legs. It starts to move full and smoothly on all fours a little later. Some of this happens later than nine months.
Teaching children to crawl
There is no need to think about when the child starts to sit and crawl. Try to help him, gradually train, turning learning into a game and talking affectionately:
- Put the baby on the back, bend his legs and hands. Suggest that he grasp your fingers with his handles, slightly pull it up and gently lower it.
- Use the big ball, rolling on it lying on the tummy of a child.
- Rotate it one by one for each barrel, help turn over.
- Before lying on the tummy child, put a bright toy, place your hand under the heels to support.
With regular exercise the baby will get stronger and fasterwill start moving on his own. Soon he will be moving around the room on all fours. The more freedom the child has, the more actively he develops. If parents pay enough attention to him, he will start crawling faster. Do not try to speed up this process, wait until the baby starts holding his head up confidently, and his muscles and bones are strong enough. But if at nine months the child cannot sit and does not even try to crawl, you should seek advice from a pediatrician. Read also:
