[Hey it gets the job done]
So today I have done a little research to give him the tools he needs to be successful at this crawling thing
first thing was this little fAcTo I found
"Firstly, about 50% of all infants can "crawl" at 7
months; 75% can do so at 10 months and roughly 90% of all infants have mastered it at 11
months."
The I found this little 5 step method
P - Put on the carpet.
The very first thing any baby must master before there's any hope of
learning to crawl… is being comfortable in the tummy lying position.
You'll get great results doing this if you talk to and play with your
baby when she's on the carpet.
P - Put together a roller.
Roll an ordinary bathroom towel into a "sausage". Of course, you can
also buy any other type of roller. They're soft cylindrical shaped
toys... preferably solid. You do get inflatable ones, but solid ones
normally last much longer and can also be used to get teach your child
to sit and walk.
P - Position the elbows.
This step requires you to do something. Gently hold your baby by the
elbows and draw them towards her body. It will almost seem as if your
child wants to lie on her elbows. Continue to provide support.
P - Position on roller.
Gently position the "sausage" under your baby's upper body… arms
hanging over the front of the "sausage". The towel "sausage" supports
the upper body - NOT her stomach - with her elbows just touching the
carpet. It should slightly raise her upper body thereby allowing her to
discover the surroundings. Make sure her elbows touch the carpet - they
must not be hanging in the air.
P - Perform in front.
This is the most important step. Get down on the floor directly in
front of your child and face her. Now, let your baby look at your face
while you talk to, amuse and encourage her.
Also they suggested getting one of these nifty toys
Im going to test this method out on Squirmy and see how it goes updates to follow and maybe a video of the little guy in motion
