How To Help Your Baby Learn To Crawl. Give your baby adequate tummy time. The more opportunities you give your baby to practice, the better crawlers they’ll become.
Helping your baby learn how to do this will give them confidence in their ability, and make crawling more likely to happen when they are ready. When your baby is learning to move on their own, try to stand away from your baby and encourage them to reach or; Get on the floor and crawl with your baby.
Drag themselves around the floor. See if they are able to move themselves toward these objects. This will encourage your baby to crawl to discover the different sounds and textures of each.
Get on all fours and keep rocking back and forth. It’s ok if she does not cope with the task from the first time. It sounds terrible to say, “ tease your baby ,” but you really should try to “tease” your baby by putting toys or objects just out of reach.
Crawling helps baby establish better learning patterns, visual tracking, and even helps with skills like getting dressed later on in life. Sit on the floor and roll a ball toward and away from your baby. Throw toys and pillows on the floor, thus creating obstacles for the baby.
For most babies learning to crawl is a part of their growth and development that comes naturally. Allow your baby to come to you. As an occupational therapists parents often ask me what they can do to help their baby learn to crawl.
Lay interesting items a short distance from your baby. Also, tummy time reduces the amount of time a child spends a while on his back. Provide a comfortable space for them to explore.
