Crawling/standing

Anyone else’s baby not making any attempt to crawl or stand? She won’t even stay on her tummy longer than like 20 seconds to even attempt it. If I try to hold her over a pillow or anything she just cries. I’m not even sure she can push herself up on her arms

Don't push. Try, give her a plenty of floor time and let her be. She will do everything at her own time.

@Veronica honestly she’s on the floor like when we are at home and she’s not having a need met like eating or nappy changing etc

My LB is the same. He will roll from back to front then will cry because he HATES tummy time 🙈 we’ve tried everything and the longest he will stay on his belly is 90seconds, and that’s with grizzles, but no sign of him pushing himself up on his hands. His legs will go up and down, kind of in a crawling motion but he won’t lift himself onto his knees so can’t see him crawling any time soon, if at all. They may just skip the crawling phase and when they have enough arm strength, just start pulling themselves up on things and holding on x

Same here! I feel like all the other babies his age are crawling or at least starting to and he just lays there like a potato 😅

They're 8 months. There's no rush. My little girl walked stupid at early 10m but didn't start crawling until 9m. She hated tummy time too. Don't worry too much about it. If they're not walking by two I'd worry, they're not even one yet.
