Commando to crawl.
My boy has been comando crawling since about 6 months he’s now 9.5 months and because he gets from A to B so efficiently doing this I can’t seem to get him to start crawling properly. Is anyone else in the same boat? Or has anyone done anything to encourage the transition from comando to crawling? I have done all the usual - tucking legs under him and getting him onto his knees, supporting him etc.
He is so strong, he can pull himself up against me into a standing position etc so he is capable - I just think he’s happy doing the comando style 😂
Thanks in advance!

We did kneeling play to help him learn to use his knees and strengthen his hips. We would put toys on top of a box to entice him. Also putting toys to the side of him rather than in front to encourage him to twist his body and to get into the crawling position 😊
My little boy commando crawled for about a month and a half, he got reaaally confident commando crawling so I just accepted this is how it's going to be because a week later he learnt to pull himself up and walk about the furniture also very confidently. Maybe two weeks ago he just decided to start crawling properly. I didn't do anything to encourage it I just let him do it in his own time 😊

My baby did this for 2 months. He started crawling at 8 months after we did some naked baby time and he didn’t like his tummy on the wood flooring. Started crawling that day and never went back to commando
