This poll is to see at what age your baby starts crawling. Please note that all babies develop at different rates and there is no "right" when baby will be crawling. If you are concerned at the rate of your baby's development, please consult your doctor.
Kameron commando crawled at 10mths, then began to crawl normally at the age of 1yr and 2mths.

Taneisha started crawling at 5 1/2 months and walking at 8 1/2 months. She took her first steps the day I found out I was pregnant with Tariq :o. Tariq started belly surfing about 2 weeks ago (at 4 months). He lays on his belly and pushes himself around in a circle with his right foot.
Jessica crawled at 9months to the day. Then started walking at 11.5 months.
Hannah is only 4 months old, and she just hangs out on her tummy atm :)
Matilda is 4 1/2 months and she is pulling her knees up and pushing off the ground, but not really using the arms yet... wonder how long I have :-k
Liam was leap frogging at around seven months, rocking on his hands and knees and then just take off leaping forward. I was so scared he was going to injure himself. He started using his knees last week. He is exploring every open space and getting into mischief. You think you have babyproofed your house then....
Prior to this from six months on, he was rolling all around the floor, exploring a pretty big space in my living rooms.
Ok...freaky baby here....Matilda started crawling on Sat... so 5 months 3 weeks!!
omg Christy!! You go Matilda!!
Cairenn started crawling at almost 8 months and Liam at 10 months. I think Liam suffered from "why crawl when my big sister will get it for me" syndrome! Then again, he was crawling backwards from about 7 months.
*bump*
Crawl? Are babies supposed to crawl?! LOL!
Olivia never crawled at all, bless her, but she did start bum shuffling at 11 months........(she is a bit more into her verbal skills than gross motor!!)
I think Aidyn started crawling at around 8 months... gosh it seems so long ago now, I can barely remember!
ETA: hang on.. maybe it was 10 months? I know he skipped commando crawling altogether....
Lily started commando crawling at around 8 months old. Trying to crawl properly, but as me have tiles all through the house she can't do it because she slips.
Zander is sooo close to crawling, he gets around quite well with leaping & shuffling so it's sort of crawling!!
So I'd say 6 months, cos that's when he really started moving.
Jaykob is 9.5 months & has just started commando, I crawled @ 11 months & DP crawled @ 10, it seems that many babies now are doing things quite early! clever lil things! lol
Im glad jaykobs held off, no chasing so far!
Kelly & Nadia mentioned something about babies that walk first before they crawl, if you guys read this, where can I read more on that?
I spoke too soon lol. Lily crawled properly today at 9mths 3 wks!!
Matthew is commando crawling atm and has done for the past week and a bit. No proper crawling just yet!
My little Alex blob is almost seven months and doesn't even roll from his back to his tummy. He likes being on his tum and spends lots of time there, but doesn't do too much. Is there anything else I can do to strengthen his arms and neck ?
Barb....I had this issue with Olivia......she would happily sit, but never move, and if she was on her tummy, was very happy, but couldn't /wouldn't roll over.....
I know the jury is out on Jolly Jumpers, but I think it did help her feel a little stronger.
But more effective than that was LOADS of playing on a soft sureface....we ended up taking the double mattress off our spare bed and laying it on the floor and playing a LOT of rough and tumble games with her and this is what helped her start rolling, and simply feeling more confident in the gross motor area........
(That said, she still didn't crawl....only ever bum shuffled......and didn't walk till 19 months....)
Indah loved her tummy too & that's how she'd spend most of her days!!!
she did commando crawl, but only started proper crawling at about 7.5 months!!!!
We have floorboards throughout our house & I think that made it harder as she'd slip all over... But she was crawling a bit at Mum's on her carpet before she mastered it at home as well...
She slaps her little hands down hard on the floorborads to make the sound!!!!
Lindsay was a very chubby little boy and didn't crawl until he was just over 8 months cause I think he might have been too heavy to hold himself up IYKWIM, but Erin was crawling properly at 4.5 months and Paige was six months exactly.
Emily didn't crawl or sit up until nine months. But then she walked right on time at 12 months! So I didn't have a crawler for long.
Kynan didn't crawl properly until 10-10.5 months.
just thought i would let you all know that apparently i have already voted on this poll - even though jelly is only five months and only just started rolling and i actually haven't voted on this poll. not sure if there isn't a clich in the system.
Caiden just started crawling today (he commandoed in the morning and was really crawling that afternoon. He is 5 and a half months. He isn't a very happy baby and gets frushtrated when he can't reach something, so he needed to move!
Chelsea was 6 months....Jasmine has made no attempt what so ever to move or roll let alone crawl yet and she is over 6 months!
