No interest in crawling

Ok, I just wrote a few days ago about my concerns with my (almost) 6 month old crawling with a dog in the house. However, he has absolutely no interest in crawling. I don't know what to do. He HATES tummy time, always has. Anytime we put him on his tummy to play he just rolls over. He will get up on his hands but refuses to get on his knees. Hubby and I try to put him in the crawling postion but he just laughs and as soon as we let go he straightens his legs. Is there anything I can do or am doing wrong?

Re: No interest in crawling

He'll crawl when he gets good and ready! Quit worrying about it. The average age for crawling is about 8 months so he's no where near being beyond the average age. He may decide to never crawl...I didn't...just started walking at 8-1/2 months. My sister crawled but didn't walk till about 13-14 months. WE're all different. Don't force him.

Thanks! I was under the impression that he should be atleast trying. I'll stop stressing.

Re: No interest in crawling

My first daughter crawled at 7 months, walked at 11. Second one only started to crawl at 9.5 months and walked at 13.5. My son crawled at 8 months and just now started walking at 14 months! Obviously they are all different. Six months is early to crawl....definitely don't be worrying about it yet.

Besides, when he crawls, he's into everything and then you really have to watch him. I liked when I could put mine on the blanket on the floor and go use the bathroom and they would be there when I got back. Now I have an audience EVERYWHERE I go.

Honestly, don't rush it. He'll do it when he's ready. And by the way, there are many forms of crawling. Hands and knees isn't the only way. Some army crawl, scoot on their bottoms, one knee up, etc. As long as they are making effort to be mobile and are using both sides, they're fine.

I agree, he just isn't ready. Pretty soon he will figure it out.
