Proven Method that Helped My Baby Start Crawling

Let’s be real: waiting for your baby to crawl feels like a mix of pride and suspense.

They rock back and forth, push up, and collapse in a giggle — and you start wondering when it’ll finally click.

Here’s what actually helped us get there — and what didn’t.

What Helped:

• Lots of floor time — no pillows, no bouncers, just space.
• Placing toys just out of reach to spark curiosity.
• Tummy time every day — short but consistent.
• Crawling alongside them (yes, it works — they copy you).

What Didn’t:

• Overuse of baby seats — limited their movement.
• Forcing the motion — babies build muscle at their own pace.
• Slippery floors — made it harder for them to grip.

Our Lifesaver:

A soft playmat — safe for tumbles and perfect for practice sessions.

If your baby isn’t crawling yet, don’t stress. Every push-up, shuffle, and reach is progress — the movement comes right on time.
