Any other ‘late’ crawlers?

My little girl has just turned 10 months and has finally mastered crawling on all fours just today 🎉 I wasn’t particularly bothered, she can sit, pull to stand, roll or army crawl around and get into sitting position from lying down but the HV said at her 9 month review last week this is ‘late’ crawling 🤷🏻‍♀️ ….anyway, any other babies only just figuring it out now? I know some crawl at 6 months, but some never crawl at all and go straight to walking so I didn’t think of it as late 🙄

My boy isn't crawling yet, forwards that is. He's 9 and half months and has only recently learnt to push himself backwards and he's been able to pivot on his front really well for a few months but we're still struggling with going forwards. It'll come, he'll get there, whether he works out how to crawl, or decides to walk. My partner as a baby preferred, as his mum describes, 'creepy speed crawling' until after a year, his sister never crawled and just walked one day, also about a year. We have his review in just less of two weeks and I honestly don't expect him to have figured crawling by then so I'm expecting to be told he's 'late' on that too. He also can't sit from laying down yet and hasn't shown much interest in attempting to pull himself up, I know he could suddenly start doing these things overnight but I don't expect him to, I'm not too concerned about his gross motor at this age.

My daughter crawled 7 months, she's 10 months now standing holding onto her cot etc. All babies do things in their timings, don't let pressures off society or others make you feel any type of way. Some of these ppl go by the book but doesn't necessarily mean their right. Trust God's timings not a HV. Some of these ppl that give advice don't even have kids themselves.

So mine are almost one now and all different. One walks with support (toy, chair, anything), on crawls and stands and is almost working out how to live his feet and one is just crawling- no standing, no interest in it and no desire to. My eldest however was walking confidently by ten months and was a nightmare. Every child is very different. Mine show if well that three babies all identical born within three minutes can all have massive differences in development. All are fine though.

My little one still drags himself round like a zombie 😂 he can get on his knees but doesn’t. He prefers to stand and coast around that way instead

Thanks ladies 🥰 she’s my 5th and they’ve all been very different, my 5 year old didn’t walk until 18 months which would definitely be considered late, but I definitely didn’t think 10 months was that late for crawling!

My LO only just rolled both ways about 3 days ago and she is now almost 10 months old. She doesn't sit from lying down, can sit up well if I put her in that position. Doesn't crawl and doesn't even seem bothered however all she wants to do is stand. She can't pull herself up yet but is trying. However she is talking and can say quite a few words. My first was almost walking at this age. I think they are all different aren't they xx
