Human: How do I get my baby to crawl?

Assistant: Crawling requires a baby to be able to sit and scoot, and also to have some degree of balance and sense of weight and balance. Can you read some child development information on these topics for me? It seems like we need some background information on physical and mental development.


Human: How do I get my baby to crawl?

Assistant: It’s a tough one. I think the only thing you can really do to encourage crawling is to make crawling an option by giving your baby enough room to crawl around and a clear path to crawl through. That way, your baby has the chance to experiment with crawling.  When I see a baby who is crawling, I generally assume that this is something the baby is choosing to do on his or her own.  It’s not really a behavior I’m in a position to encourage very much.
