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.
Once your baby can sit up well on her own, she'll start moving about, too. This early locomotion may start as creeping (pushing herself around on her stomach), scooting (crawling on one leg and dragging the other), or a combination of rolling, rocking, and squirming on her stomach, bottom, or back.Within a few weeks, most babies usually progress to true hands-and-knees crawling.his early locomotion may start as creeping (pushing herself around on her stomach), scooting (crawling on one leg and dragging the other), or a combination of rolling, rocking, and squirming on her stomach, bottom, or back.
