    My first ds started to crawl 3 days before he started to sit.
    Ds2 didn't sit until he was 9 months and crawled at 10 months
    Ds3 started sitting at 9 months and crawled at 11 months

    All babies develop at their own pace, ds3 isn't fully walking yet at 16 months, but i'm not worried yet, he's getting there slowly, but if i took him to a MCHN they would have him booked in to see a peadatrician because of it.
    Use your mothers instint, it's what i go on and it's never let me down, no-one knows your baby better than you.
    I stopped taking my kids to MCHN because they were rude and pushy, i take my kids to our gp for all of their checkups.
    Good luck

    I think getting conflicting advice is part of being a mummy!
    My DD sat up at 5 months on her own, is now 10 months and has no interest in crawling but prefers to bum shuffle or cruise.

    Don't worry, they are all different and will do things when they feel like it!
