DS never once crawled, he bum shuffled from about 10 months to 15 months when he started walking, plunket were always telling me he needed to crawl  and that i needed to make sure he crawled, all babies do everything in their own time, and all find their own way of getting round the place ]]> Wed, 16 Mar 2011 13:11:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38361&PID=1286370&title=1yo-still-wont-stand-or-crawl#1286370 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38361&PID=1285909&title=1yo-still-wont-stand-or-crawl#1285909 Author: Shelt

I should have done this! I had one person tell me G was too fat and lazy to want to move and I should feed her less And G was heavy but also incredibly tall so not fat by any means.

Funny how once you have kids people take it upon themselves to tell you all sorts of things that you really wish they wouldn't.]]> Tue, 15 Mar 2011 20:47:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38361&PID=1285909&title=1yo-still-wont-stand-or-crawl#1285909 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38361&PID=1285863&title=1yo-still-wont-stand-or-crawl#1285863 Author: monkey33

My DD didn't move at all until 18 months! Just would happily sit in one position, and wouldn't bear any weight on her legs. She then bum shuffled until she finally walked at... 27 months old!
I had her checked by a paed at around 16 months as she had been a breech birth (with her feet up by her head) and there can be concerns with hips, but no, she was fine and just in no hurry. She is now 3.5 years and a normal healthy full of life little girl.]]> Mon, 14 Mar 2011 19:34:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38361&PID=1285105&title=1yo-still-wont-stand-or-crawl#1285105 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38361&PID=1284823&title=1yo-still-wont-stand-or-crawl#1284823 Author: Shelt

My DD was exactly the same. Didn't crawl till 13 months and didn't walk till 17 months but could count to 10 by 23 months, speak in sentences by 24 months and now at 27 months can count past 20.

Thanks foor all your input ladies, have mentioned it to Plunket and GP but always seem to get fobbed off and take their advice with a grain of salt.... they also told me that she didn't need milk anymore at 8 months when she started refusing it (apparently it has no nutritional value - wtf?!), so these days, I prefer advice from other mums, who actually care So thanks ladies for making me feel better. I'll see how she is going in a month. She is moving forward in leaps and bounds in every other aspect...... I think she'd be dangerous if she could walk as well as being as clever as she is! lol So I guess I should be thankful huh! ]]> Sun, 13 Mar 2011 17:42:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38361&PID=1284323&title=1yo-still-wont-stand-or-crawl#1284323 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38361&PID=1284256&title=1yo-still-wont-stand-or-crawl#1284256 Author: MissCandice

I hate those silly nosey people who just have to comment! We had that when Hunter was younger and was a bit of a chubster so looked older than he was, and people would act soooo surprised that he wasnt walking! Im not sure exactly why they feel as though they are the experts on child development?!

She'll most likely be fine, and will do it in her own time. One of the girls in our antenatal group was similar - she rolled everywhere and had no need to crawl. I think she was about 15 or so months old, when she started to stand and walk (can't remember if she crawled for a bit or not). I think she may have had a little bit of trouble putting all of her weight on her feet properly, and walking properly at first, and had to see a specialist. But I'm pretty sure she's all good now. I'd just keep an eye on her, and if you think she might having trouble, then see a specialist.]]> Fri, 11 Mar 2011 22:03:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38361&PID=1283553&title=1yo-still-wont-stand-or-crawl#1283553 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38361&PID=1283459&title=1yo-still-wont-stand-or-crawl#1283459 Author: Emmi_

I think they just do it when they are ready, DD started crawling at 7 months, but our neighbour's DD didnt start till 15 months, and has started walking in the last could of weeks (close to about 18months I think). There is no way I have encouraged/wanted her to crawl early, and shes already standing and taking a couple of steps, with no encouragement from me. When Isla is ready you wont be able to stop her!]]> Fri, 11 Mar 2011 19:26:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38361&PID=1283459&title=1yo-still-wont-stand-or-crawl#1283459 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38361&PID=1283379&title=1yo-still-wont-stand-or-crawl#1283379 Author: ElfsMum

There is a baby in my coffee group who sounds very similar. She is 13 months, and a very good bum shuffler but no sign of standing or crawling. She is one of the more verbal babies in the group though. I doubt its anything to worry about.

My gal didn't start to commando crawl until 11 months. It then took her another month to work out proper crawling as a means of getting places so I really wouldn't worry about that. I agree with Chickoin - enjoy the ease of a non-crawling baby whilst you can! And I reckon those people mustn't have kids - and if they do then they bloody well should know better!
Not sure about the standing though. Does she 'stand' if she's leaning against the sofa maybe reaching for a toy or something?]]> Fri, 11 Mar 2011 15:55:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38361&PID=1283335&title=1yo-still-wont-stand-or-crawl#1283335 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38361&PID=1283224&title=1yo-still-wont-stand-or-crawl#1283224 Author: Chickoin

Not all kids crawl first and if she is getting what she wants by rolling why learn to crawl? If she has been checked out and is fine I am sure she will get there in her own time. Not nice though when people say they should be doing something by a certain age.

Not to brag but just to say she may suddenly do it. My DD wouldn't put any weight on her feet either(literally at all) and only commando crawls. 4 days ago she started pulling herself up and standing properly. She is 11mths. I thought there would be more of an inbetween stage like with DS but she just suddenly did it and nows pulls herself up all the time.

She has been very tired though and has been needing her naps earlier which is a pain cos I like to try and keep them in sync.]]> Fri, 11 Mar 2011 13:17:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38361&PID=1283212&title=1yo-still-wont-stand-or-crawl#1283212 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38361&PID=1283200&title=1yo-still-wont-stand-or-crawl#1283200 Author: Richie

She's had her hips checked twice now. Once at 6 months and again as a follow up about a month ago and all was normal. The reason they checked her hips was because of the fact she had a extra fold on her left thigh.
Isla is really good at getting around the place by rolling. She can sit up from lying, and can go from sitting to hands and knees but then she just gets straight onto her tummy and rolls.
Plunket did tell me that babies can only learn one thing at a time and she is quite advanced in other things that babies her age don't normally learn till after they learn to crawl.walk etc so maybe she is just doing things back to front.
It's just so disheartening when people ask how old she is and when I tell them they say 'oh she will be crawling/walking all over the place now wont she!?' and when I say no they are like 'oh, really, she should be by now, is there something wrong with her?' ]]> Fri, 11 Mar 2011 13:04:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38361&PID=1283200&title=1yo-still-wont-stand-or-crawl#1283200 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38361&PID=1283189&title=1yo-still-wont-stand-or-crawl#1283189 Author: kezza2112
