How old was your child when they started crawling ?

Question

My daughter is only 6 months old and she crawls really well , but I think she's a little younger than average for crawling as well as she does .

Answer 1

we are 5 months and we just started.

Answer 2

my daughter started crawling right before she turned 7 months..but she didnt start walking til she was almost a year old. when she started crawling, everyone automatically assumed that she was going to start walking alot sooner than she did..but i was so happy when she waited a little while longer. because she was all over the place when she started walking!!

Answer 3

My son was 9 months old yesterday and he just started to kinda crawl about maybe 2 weeks ago. He does what I call a "military crawl". He gets on his belly and uses his elbows and knees to kinda crawl. It is so funny.  

Answer 4

My son is 10-months (9-months corrected as is a preemie) and just started to crawl a little bit last night :)

Answer 5

My little one is going to be 1 next friday and she still isn't crawling. She slides around on her bum, and if she's in the standing position she is walking.  

Answer 6

my daughter was 7 months. she was a really fast army man crawler for a month before she could get around on all 4s. most babies learn to crawl between 6-10 months.  

Answer 7

My kids never crawled. They just pulled themselves up and walked. Before they're about a year old they're pretty empty headed so if she's moving about I would watch her like a hawk! She will have no sense of danger.  

Answer 8

wow. yeah I think that's a little early. watch out , she'll probably be all over the place soon. My girl kind of skipped crawling and just started walking at 8.5 months.

Answer 9

Average age is 6 months - first son started at that age.The next day he crawled all the way up the stairs!

He used to crawl with his head on the floor like he was plowing the carpet! [ farmer genes, or maybe his head just itched ].

But normal range is up to 9 months - second started at that age [ too busy taking notes on his big brother ].

PS: Mom says I never crawled - just walked!

Answer 10

My daughter was 8 months when she started

Answer 11

My friends baby did that and by 9 months she was walking. She was a tiny little thing it was so cute

Answer 12

Emma was right at 8 months.  It is younger than average, but early crawling/walking is not a sign of intelligence.  It is actually the opposite, late crawlers and walkers are usually found to be extremley intelligent.

Answer 13

Every baby advances at their own pace.  I have 2 daughters.  The oldest began scooting at four months and thus mastered crawling before she was 6 months old.  The other one did not start crawling until she was 10 months old!  By the time they are a year old they generally all catch up to each other anyway.
