Baby Crawling Poll:

When Did Your Baby Start Crawling? And With What Crawling Style?

Baby Care Tips > Baby Polls >

Many babies start crawling at some point between 6 months and 10 months old. But there are variations, of course! And since we all started to put our babies to sleep on their back, the tendency is for crawling to start somewhat later. It simply takes longer for their neck and back muscles to get strong enough for crawling.

Some babies never crawl, or they first learn how to walk and then starts crawling when they want to. Many babies also use other innovative methods of scooting around, such as on the tummy like a little soldier, on their feet and hands, backwards by pushing with their hands, with one foot and the other knee touching the floor, or simply rolling around.

Many babies, however to start with the traditional knees and hands crawling style at some point.

Below you'll find two baby crawling polls. The first one is on when your baby started to crawl. The second is on which crawling style your baby uses. And if your baby has chosen another way of moving around, such as bottom shuffling (scooting around on his bottom, using a hand behind and a foot in front to propel himself), or slithering on his stomach like a little soldier, that counts too!

Have fun voting and learning about other babies' methods to move forward (or backwards...)
