When babies crawl, they are usually six months old, and of course, each baby's development is different, so the time of development varies. But some parents find that their babies are different from other babies when crawling, such as kicking both legs together, which looks particularly cute, and they don't know why. What if the baby crawls and kicks both legs together?
What should I do if my baby crawls and kicks both legs together
1. Using toys to encourage the baby to lie down and lift their head, guiding them to use their upper limbs to lift their upper body off the ground. At the beginning, the baby may only be able to crawl and crawl with their stomach against the bed surface, but this is already a big step forward for the little one.
2. Train the baby to crawl with hands and knees, lift the baby's belly, and alternately push and push the legs under the abdomen, practicing several times a day. Then place some toys in front to attract him, and the baby will use all their strength to crawl forward. At the beginning, there may not be any forward movement, but rather a backward movement. At this point, it is necessary to press firmly against the baby's legs and give them some support. As a result, the baby will gradually learn to crawl with their hands and knees.
3. After learning to crawl with hands and knees, let the baby lie on the bed, hold the baby's waist with both hands, keep their knees off the bed, straighten their calves, support their arms, gently shake the baby's body back and forth for tens of seconds, and then put it down. Practicing 3-4 times a day like this will greatly improve the support of the arms and legs.
What is the reason why babies cannot crawl and walk directly
1. The baby doesn't want to climb on its own. Some babies are unwilling to learn crawling, but their leg strength is strong and their balance is particularly good, so they may directly learn to walk and skip the crawling stage.
2. Parents don't want their babies to crawl. Some parents are eager for their babies to learn to stand and walk, so they hold their babies under their armpits early on to make them stand, or even buy a walker to let them sit inside and row back and forth. As a result, the babies naturally miss the crawling stage.
3. Some parents are too protective of their babies, worried that they will crawl and dirty their clothes, and even more afraid that their babies will fall, knock or bump. Whenever their babies just want to crawl, they immediately pick them up, causing them to have no chance to crawl.
When babies are learning to crawl, they may exhibit various strange behaviors that parents find incomprehensible. However, as long as there are no obvious illnesses or abnormal symptoms, do not assume them as negative injuries. To a large extent, every baby's growth environment is different, so there are also significant differences in development, but they are all healthy.
