The baby is eight months old, and at this time, the baby will turn over and crawl forward. Indeed, for the baby, their gross motor development is relatively good at this time, and their muscle function and balance ability have also developed to a certain extent. Parents have given birth to an eight month old baby who crawls forward with their feet. So, is it normal for an eight month old baby to crawl forward with their feet?
An eight month old baby crawls forward with their feet, which is also a type of crawling. Although the baby's movements may not look very beautiful, they can still crawl, which is normal. For babies, regardless of the type of crawling, as long as they can crawl, it is okay. Parents should pay attention to assisting their babies in crawling and train them more regularly.
When the baby crawls, parents can prepare a crawling pad for the baby, and parents should let the baby choose the crawling pad they like. The crawling pad must be hard. If the crawling pad is too soft, the baby will feel uncomfortable when crawling, which will make the baby dislike crawling. At this time, parents can gently push the baby.
Parents can also use a toy to guide their baby in front of them, so that the baby will be more interested and willing to crawl. It should be noted that if the baby is about to receive the toy, parents can move the toy away so that the baby will chase after it, which helps train the baby's crawling ability.
