Most babies learn to crawl between the ages of 7 months and 10 months. Your baby may opt for another method of locomotion around this time, though â like bottom shuffling (scooting around on her bottom, using a hand behind and a foot in front to propel herself), slithering on her stomach, or rolling across the room.
At first, your baby will assume the tripod position, leaning forward on his hands for support, and over the next few months will grow steadier and steadier. By 7 months, your baby will be steadier when he sits, and may be able to hold a toy at the same time. To help your baby practice, prop him up in a sitting position surrounded by pillows to support his back (a Boppy or other nursing pillow is great for this).
