Baby's first time crawling and sitting up??

Question

Okay so my daughter who will be 5 months on the 1st just started crawling this last weekend. I am not lying and she has been sitting up on her own for small amounts at a time by herself for a few weeks now.

How anyone else's baby hit these milestones kinda early. My first child, also a girl was sitting up at about 5 months by herself. I even have the pics. But has anyone else's baby done this or anything else kinda early?

Answer 1

My daughter was able to sit up by herself for short periods at 3 and a half months. SHe is now 6 months one week and has just started semi-crawling...not creeping not crawling but she manages to push herself forward a little bit somehow lol

That sounds exactly what my daughter is doing

Answer 2

Yes my son was an early starter with regards to the phycial stuff. He sat up at 5 months and crawled at 6 months. My daughter is 4 months old and she can already sit up using her hands to prop herself so I guess she's also a fast learner. Soon I'll have a crawling baby on my hands too!

Answer 3

Not with my own baby, but my neighbors daughter can sit up on her own and crawl, and she's only 4 months old. Every baby develops differently (being the little individuals they are). I wouldn't read too much into it though. Some babies seem to be way advanced, then turn out average, some seem to develop slowly and end up brilliant, it's to young to start thinking about whether or not you have a prodigy on your hands (though we all like to think we do).
