How do I help my baby crawl?

My 9 month old still won’t crawl, she’s 10 months in a couple weeks. I really don’t want her to be behind & I can see she wants to & gets frustrated when on her belly but just can’t seem to bring herself onto her knees. I’ve even tried putting her on her knees and hands but she just flops down and can’t seem to take her own weight on her knees. Any tips?

My baby literally started a week or so ago, he’s 10 months! We kept trying to encourage it, but in the end he just started himself. He can’t seem to crawl “normally” on both knees, but he has his own way of getting around 😅

No help but I’m in the exact same boat! Try not to worry - she will get there. My little one gets stuck on her leg underneath her and when I get her on her knees she will just sit back down 🙈

We are also in the same boat and I’ve been worrying too thinking how to get her to crawl but I think it just all happens at their own time! Xx

My little girl is 10 months this week and she doesn’t crawl ‘properly’ she basically drags herself along 🤣😂

Same for us- on one hand I want her to ‘catch up’ but on the other hand I know I wont get a second once she starts 😳

My son is 10 months on Thursday and has 0 interest in crawling whatsoever 🤣occasionally he’ll like roll to his front and try reaching for toys and that but can’t work it out. He is just now managing to pull himself to stand so wonder if he’ll just skip the crawling stage all together 🤣they all progress at different stages so I wouldn’t worry too much! While he’s not crawling he’s doing so well with other skills

My daughter doesn’t really crawl but prefers to stand up and walk with her walker. Maybe some babies are not the type to crawl first then walk.

My LG doesn't crawl either. She'll put her hands in front of her but never lifts her bum up to attempt to get on all fours. Hates it when I put her on all fours too lol
