Crawling

[oliv]

My DD was around 8 months when she started crawling, DS is not 10months and doesn't even attempt it. He rolls around the floor to get places.

Is this normal?

My three have all been different. I wouldn't worry. My son just started crawling today. Can't believe I've been wishing he would. I want him to stop already😂

Yes. As long as he is making an effort to be mobile in some manner then he is likely fine. He may never crawl and progress straight to cruising and walking - also fine - as long as you are seeing developmental progress then he's doing well.

Don't worry. Crawling is not even one of the development milestones. Some babies bum shuffle instead or skip all that and go straight to walking. My twins were 6 weeks prem, one commando crawled at 8.5 months, properly crawled at 11 months. The other crawled at 12.5 months.

My little man has just turned 9 months and he won't even attempt to try and crawl.
when i put him on his tummy he screams until i either lift him or he rolls himself over, my daughter who is now 13 started crawling at 8 months and my son who is 10 started at 9 months.
Ryan would rather walk and stand than try and crawl so my health visitor thinks he might just walk first.
All children are different and do things at different times, Ryan got his first tooth at 6 months while my other children didn't get any until much later.
I wouldn't worry too much about him crawling tbh x
