Crawling is not a necessary stage for babies, but it can also contribute to their growth and development. When a baby cannot crawl at eight months old, I believe many mothers are worried about it. Actually, crawling is just a transitional movement for a baby's growth and does not necessarily indicate abnormal growth. What if I can't climb for eight months?
Generally, babies have a regular movement from learning to sit, then to standing, and finally to walking. Simply put, crawling is a preparatory action performed by babies while standing and walking. And there are also many babies who walk directly after crossing this stage, which is normal. Crawling does play a significant role in a baby's growth, so mothers can also demonstrate the movements themselves and let the baby write along, as babies can quickly imitate adult movements.
Secondly, mothers need to give their babies more opportunities to crawl. They cannot keep their babies in the stroller all the time, but should give them more space to freely crawl. You can let the baby come into contact with some crawling children and climb with other babies. This will also increase the baby's interest in crawling.
If the baby still can't crawl, parents can also reach out and help! Because babies can't crawl yet, they can't coordinate their hands and feet well. Parents should be behind their babies to give them a sense of security. Help the baby place their hands steadily, push their little feet, and make them crawl successfully.
