How to Teach Your Baby to Crawl

We were shocked at how quickly Leo wanted to crawl—and at 7 months old, he's already standing! We spent a lot of time working with Leo to be active, focusing on tummy time and then planking and then eventually crawling! The best part was finding out what motivates him to move his little body...for Leo it was a laptop that no longer worked, and some of his favorite toys! While every baby will crawl at their own pace, we're showing you some tips and tricks that really helped getting Leo used to the movements he would eventually use to scoot around. Let us know in the comments below how you got your baby to crawl!

    OMGGG!! You and your wife are amazing and so smart!! My baby is 6 months and need slight support sitting up, she cant crawl and HATES tummy time!! She hates tummy time SO bad that she rolled over to tummy or her back when she was only 1 week old!! So she’s 6 & 1/2 months now and I’m like why won’t she crawl?! All the signs are there but she won’t. I’ve trying reading and watching sooo many videos they all say the same thing just tummy time. I used the boppy in your video and BAM she was FINALLY on her knees!! After subscribing and watching your videos I’ve decided I’m selling her activity center and only keeping her push walker. Which I’ve done my research and read even doctors stating they delay babies from walking! Overall I’m SOOO glad I found your videos!! I will be sharing this with all my friends!!

    Thank you for this ! I’m a single father to 7 month old twins and I believe this was so helpful
  • @marisalauania98
    Don’t be upset if your child doesn’t crawl, some kids TOTALLY skip this. But I definitely think you should try and engage with them

    I don't usually comment on videos but I wanted to say I loved seeing your genuine happiness and joy of being a Dad all over your face.

    My son didnt start walking until 14 months. He skipped crawling completely until one day he walked along the couch and starting walking. My whole family that day was like 😦😲😲

    Holy cow! That boppi pillow trick was the last puzzle piece my little man needed! He got up into the crawl position immediately and cruised over it! Thank you so much! How awesome and informative!

    My baby cousin literally just stood up one day and instead of learning to sit, to crawl, to walk... she ran.

    My 7month old niece has been trying to skip crawling and is just straight walking round furniture but we’re trying to help her learn to crawl.. so thank you!!
  • @csbva88
    This was awesome - I had already been doing 4 of the 5 you mentioned, but #3 / boppie was the key. I tried that and 2 or 3 quick sessions later our baby girl had nailed it. Thanks so much for providing the missing piece of the puzzle!
