Belly Crawling

My K did the commando/belly crawling for a good couple of months, towards the 2nd month she finally started figuring out that you could use legs too! She graduated to the caterpillar, hands up push forward, bottom up push forward.... And then just got up and started crawling, slow at first and then super quick.

It may take another month or just a few days, its hard to tell, but should be sooner rather than later with what she is doing with the up and rocking.

Both my two have been belly crawlers.  They seem determined to stick to their guns and crawl like that no matter what - I remember Jimmy scratching his tummy because he was determined to cross our garden, which was covered in bark .  Hubby and I were trying to recall whether he ended up doing 'normal' crawling before or after learning to walk, and we think he did it later, after walking.  Leah looks set to go the same way - she is 10 months now and although she gets up and rocks a lot she never ever tries to move forwards or backwards.  She just wants to go upwards!

Leah's crawl cracks me up - she still only uses her left foot for pushing and her right elbow for moving, so it looks like she's belly crawling with a limp!  Jimmy did the full on commando-crawl, like the army guys.  How does Zoe crawl?

Both my boys cammando crawled from 5.5 months. The oldest one eventually crawled on all fours at 10.5 months but it was only for 2 weeks and them he started walking. The younger one never crawled on all fours. He started walking at 10.5 months.

Yeah Zoe looks like a seal haha.  Uses both arms to pull her legs behind her.  Occasionally one foot gets used to push off.  Quite quick when she gets going especially on the lino

My boy commando crawled from 6.5mths and finally crawled normally at 9.5mths

DS commando crawled at 6months for a month then started crawling normally but would flop down and commando to get to where he wanted faster for another week or so then he just started crawling and on the same day he started pulling up on furniture. So by 7.5 months he was crawling properly. And FAST.

DS1 belly crawled from around 7months to 11 months, then within a few days he changed to crawling properly and within a month or so walked...

They all seem to change over, make sure you get some videos of her belly crawling, it's hard to remember what they were like as soon as they stop!!

Oooh and when she was crawling like that, she'd paddle, like she push with one foot but she use her right are the her left and then rigth again. LOL

I think Hunter commando crawled for a good 2-3 months, and then at 9 month within the space of a week crawled 'properly', stood, climbed stairs and walked holding onto things!

Porti is still rolling around the house or just swivelling on her belly, no backward or forward movement

Milla belly crawled for a while, then about a month of crawling at 8 months, then bear walking - on hands and feet on the floor for ages - took her first step on her 13 month birthday - a year to the day of her first surgery!!
