i have a scuttle bum! my daughter is almost 9 months, and altho she has tried to crawn alot, and tried again after giving up, she hates it, can only go backwards, and gets very very frustrated!! its goten to the point were i cant put her on her tummy with out yelling and screaming
she has been trying to walk, wriggles off the couch or my lap untill she is standing, but cant stand without holding on so gets frustrated with that to..
well today she figured something out, she can move on her bum, she sits there and reaches for something, if she cant get it, she goes like she will crawl, reaches again, if that dont work, she flips back onto her bum and wriggles her bum in the direction she wants to be!!! she is so pleased with herself, she has been doing laps of the lounge room, and actualy getting up set when i try get her to go to bed!
will she start to crawl eventualy or just go straight from scuttle-buming to walking???
i have no idea as both the boys were crawling by now!!
either way, im so proud of her for finding a way that works best for her, and its so darned cute!!!!
My DS never crawled really (well, not until after he could walk). He started bum shuffling at 12 months and then about 4 months later started walking. It sounds like your DD might actually end up crawling (if she still keeps trying), but I wouldn't worry too much about the way she's moving now.
lol how cute! I saw a video of someone's bub the other day doing a similar thing, someone commented she looked like a 3 legged spider
Chances are she will probably walk before she crawls if she really hates it that much, but so long as she does eventually learn to crawl (it's important for left/right side of the brain communication) there's no problem and it doesn't matter what order she does it.
Oh that's adorable A friend of mine's daughter does this, she still just can't get the hang of crawling. She's 13 months old and has now changed it to one foot kind of out in front, she uses that to pull her bum along lol, it's so cute! Now that she can do that she doesn't even bother trying to crawl, she gets along quick enough like this. I don't think it'll affect her walking, she walks while you hold her hands etc.
Your daughter just has her own unique way of getting around, good on her for figuring it out
