How to encourage crawling?
So, DS (who is now 2.5) was not a roller and did not crawl. At about 12 months he started bum shuffling and then walked by about 16 months. Although he is perfectly normal now, his lack of movement and then lack of crawling caused me quite a bit of anxiety at the time.
DD is now showing all the same signs. At almost 8 months she has only rolled twice and does not seem at all interested in trying to move. She sits well (as did DS) and will reach for toys, but will not try to move to get them, either when she is sitting or lying on her back or tummy.
So I'm looking for any suggestions on ways to encourage her to crawl. I try to put her on her tummy as often as possible. Generally she will only last for 5 minutes at the most and then either wants to be picked up or sitting.
