  • Good question. I have the same issue...
  • Aww how exciting is that! My babes only 1 month so idk
  • 6+ months, my kids didn't really start til 7 or 8 months
  • Its one of those things that every child is different. I crawled at four months, one of my sisters didn't crawl at all, she just went straight to walking at 10ish months. Average is between 6 to 9 months I think.
    Just keep working with tummy time, try doing it more often throughout the day but for shorter periods of time.
  • Ok I just read in "first years" magazine 8 months
  • ooohhh k so we still have a little while :/ I'm so excited for him to start doing new things, he's started o become really vocal and makes all kinds of noises its so cute, and he's finally smiling at me when i play with him! lol
  • My son started crawling at 14m he started walking at 13m. Crawling turned out to be quicker lol
  • My five month old hated tummy time until about a month ago. Now he's trying to crawl.:)
  • Between 5-10 months. Some kids are super lazy and others are more advanced!
  • Not sure I've ever met a baby who enjoyed tummy time. Ill agree with the person who mentioned the magazine. I bet the average is 7-8 months
  • tummy time is really important to crawling. my daughter was crawling about 4 1/2 months and my son was crawling about 5 1/2 months.
  • I wish my daughter wouldn't demand so much tummy time. she has recently found out that if she rolls off of her back durning hte night she gets to sleep on hre tummy cuz mommy isnt awake to put her back on her side or back. O my stubborn lil 2 month old
  • My daughter was 8 months
  • My sons where both 7months my daughter is 3.5months lives tummy time but keeps rolling lol
  • My 4 month old hates tummy time too and shows no sign if crawling anytime soon! She does like to roll tho :) my friends 8 month old just started crawling.
  • My baby hated tummy time but now she doesn't mind it so much if therw is a mirror in front of her. We don't do it much either. I rolled everywhere lol then walked then crawled last. Don't worry it will happen when he's ready.
  • My son didnt like tummy time, but he loves it now that he can roll over lol. My nephew was running and walking at 7 1/2 months old! :O
  • Probably when he has someplace to go. J/k! :ar!
  • My first boy never crawled but started walking at 8 months :)he was an early bird at everything. I have a 3 week old now so idk....so we will c :)
  • @everyone well ive been trying to get adrien to do more tummy time an even though he screams and cries when i put him down, he rolled himself over for the first time today :) and after i put him back on his tummy he did it again. so I'm happy that my baby has learned something new maybe he wont be behind after all :D

    @blueberrysmom thank u for that it made me laugh hehe :P
  • Mine never she just start walking and that's it at 14 months walking never crawl I though that something was wrong cause she was a premie but not some kids just don't do it
  • @2girls_1boy my son was a preemie also born at 34+5 and he really seems to be quite a bit behind other babies his age with his size and weight, cutting teeth, sleeping more during the night, he didn't even smile at me when id play with him till he hit 3 months. maybe I'm worrying too much i just don't want him to struggle with anything
  • My daugther was 33 to 34 gestation age doctor said theres diferent charts for premies ill Google it for you and paste it by that chart my daugther is doing normal
  • Check them good info
