When will the baby crawl? We know that if the baby crawls more, it can exercise the coordination and flexibility of physical activities, as well as the baby's will and courage. It can be said that the baby's crawling is a milestone in the whole development process, so when will the baby crawl?
When will the baby crawl?
Most babies learn to crawl between 6- 10 months, but at first their crawling movements are not standard, which may be rubbing PP (butt landing, one hand behind the body, one foot in front of the body, pushing yourself, rubbing around the ass), crawling forward on the abdomen, or turning over. No matter what kind of action, the mother can slowly guide the baby to crawl quickly and steadily. But there are still some babies who can't even climb and can stand and walk. Mothers don't need to worry too much at this time. Crawling is just the transition from sitting to standing or walking. Anyway, as long as the baby can walk healthily!
Five functions of baby crawling
1, baby crawling can exercise the strength of baby's whole body muscle activities, especially the coordination and flexibility of limb activities, which is a comprehensive physical activity.
2. Crawling needs the close cooperation between Da and cerebellum. More crawling can enrich the neural connection between the big brain and the cerebellum and promote the growth of the baby's brain.
3. Crawling can make babies actively move their bodies, broaden their horizons, increase their knowledge and promote the development of cognitive ability.
4, the baby can enhance the communication between mother and child and promote the development of the baby's language.
5, baby crawling can exercise the baby's will and courage, which is conducive to the baby's character cultivation and can bring a lot of unexpected fun.
So far, there is no relevant data to show that babies with crawling experience are smarter than babies without crawling experience, but the medical community has recognized that crawling training can promote the brain development of babies, because crawling can make babies feel more flexible and thus promote brain development. (How to Develop Baby's Intelligence)
In the process of crawling forward, the baby can not only use his brain, but also exercise the balance ability of his cerebellum. Baby's eyes and brain are used for crawling, which is also very helpful for the coordination of baby's hands, eyes and feet and the skills of thick and thin movements. More crawling is also helpful to the development of writing, reading and sports skills in the future; Moreover, crawling must integrate sensory information, cooperate with hands, eyes and feet to understand the surrounding environment and move forward. These stimuli can develop the baby's understanding of the concept of space and a sense of distance. Crawling can also promote the development of baby's cognitive ability to surrounding things, which is conducive to the training of thinking and memory.
When the baby is crawling, the head needs to be raised, and the chest and abdomen need to be raised, mainly by alternately lifting the limbs to coordinate the load of the body. This series of movements can exercise the strength of baby's chest, abdomen, waist, back, four feet and big muscles. Therefore, crawling is a comprehensive fitness exercise, which lays a solid foundation for the baby to stand and walk.
How to train your baby to crawl?
First of all, understand the three stages of baby's crawling ability development:
(1) Crawl with your feet: put your hands against your baby's feet to make them frog-shaped, and he will crawl forward with his abdomen as the fulcrum, which is the ability of newborns from the beginning.
(2) Hands and knees crawling: 8- 12 months, the baby can support the body crawling with hands and knees.
(3) Hand and foot crawling: 1 year old, the baby can support the body with both hands and feet and crawl forward.
Secondly, learn how to train your baby to crawl.
1, Crawl on foot: practice 2-4 times a day, crawl 2-4 meters each time, and stick to it every day.
2, upper limb preparation: prone head, two arms to support the upper body: you can use mirrors, toys, pictorial, face to tease your baby to look up. You can practice properly after birth 15 days; 3-4 times a day after the full moon, which can accumulate for half an hour.
One-arm support weight: after the baby learns the above actions, he can use toys to attract him to reach the toy above his arm when he is prone. Just when the baby has caught enough, practice supporting the weight with one arm, and the arms can take turns to practice. Forearm cross exercise: the baby is lying on the bed and you are beside the bed. Put your palm up and under the baby's palm. Use toys to tease you in front, and cross your palms to drive your baby's arms to cross.
3, lower limb preparation: practice kneeling posture: about 3-4 months, you can hold your baby on your leg, or when your mother is lying on your back, let your baby kneel on your side and hold your body with your hands; You can read pictorials, read children's songs and play with toys with your baby, so that your baby can exercise the support strength of his knees. Cross-legged exercise: The baby is prone on the pillow under the abdomen. You can hold the baby's ankle with both hands and do cross-legged exercise.
4, coordinated crawling of limbs: let the baby's hands and knees (or hands and feet) land, the abdomen leaves the bed surface, and the limbs crawl in coordination. If the baby's abdomen can't leave the bed or move forward, you can hold the baby's abdomen with your hands or wrap it with a long scarf to induce him to crawl with toys.
Three skills for babies to learn to crawl.
Coup 1:
1, swept the cool at home into a roll. (The cushion is elastic and easy to unfold)
Let the baby lie on the mat and press the mat under him at the same time.
3. Mom helps push the mat and let the baby crawl forward with the spread of the mat.
Coup 2
1, the baby is on the ground or in bed.
2. One person is in front of the baby and one person is behind the baby. (or the mother is lying in bed, the baby is lying on one side, and the father is on the other side of the mother)
The person in front holds the baby's right hand, and the person behind pushes the baby's left foot. Push the baby's right foot when holding the baby's left hand. (The father holds the baby's right hand, and the mother pushes the baby's left leg, and vice versa. Help the baby climb from his side to his father's side.
When exercising for the baby, parents can also use pillows, boxes and sofa cushions as obstacles to guide and encourage the baby to climb, which will help improve the baby's self-confidence, crawling speed and flexibility.
Coup 3
Let the baby lie on the bed and cover his chest and abdomen with a blanket or a big towel. Dad lifted the blanket, and mom pushed the baby's left hand and right foot back and forth, and then changed the right hand and left foot in turn to train the baby to crawl. Pay attention to the control of time during training, and don't make the baby too tired to avoid disgust. Mothers can also place their favorite toys or items at the destination to encourage their babies to work hard.
Mother s experience in training her baby to crawl;
1, sit seven times and climb eight times. Children usually climb at this time, and some children walk first and then climb. This is the case in my family. When learning to crawl, you let him lie prone on the bed, and when the adult's hand points to his little feet, he will naturally climb forward. Of course, if he is not focused at ordinary times, he won't.
Babies over 2.8-9 months need a lot of "floor time". At 9 months, the baby began to exercise more and explore his world. Put interesting things (soft pillows or plush toys) on the quilt or blanket, and the baby can crawl to get them. You can play all kinds of interesting games with your baby on the floor.
3, mommy can let the baby do some training to help the stomach leave the bed. Lift the baby's belly, and push and pull the lower legs alternately. Each movement can be repeated 6-8 times and trained several times a day. After the baby's two calves have certain alternating movement ability, put a toy in front of him to attract him and urge the baby to crawl forward with all his strength. But at this stage, it is easy for the baby to retreat instead of moving forward, or start crawling and struggling. When this happens, mommy can gently hold the baby's soles with her hands, give the baby some support and urge him to climb forward. In this way, the baby will soon learn to climb forward with his hands and knees.
4, to let the baby learn to climb, it takes two people to cooperate. One person teases the baby in front and the other pushes the baby behind, so practice more; Or take the baby out and get in touch with the crawling baby Look more, the baby will recover naturally.
What are the signs that the baby will climb in a few months?
1, most babies learn to crawl between 6 10 months. However, during this period, the baby may also take other activities, such as rubbing his ass (one hand behind his body, one foot in front of his body, rubbing his ass everywhere), crawling on his abdomen or turning over. Some babies will completely skip the stage of learning to crawl and learn to stand, stand and walk with things.
2. By seven or eight months, the baby can crawl. When really crawling, the baby crawls on his hands and knees, his head and neck are raised, and his chest and abdomen leave the bed.
3, crawling is a very beneficial action for the baby, not only can exercise the strength and coordination of the baby's whole body muscles, but also can enhance the sense of balance in the cerebellum, which has a good influence on the baby's future language learning and reading. Therefore, mom and dad must help the baby to complete the crawling action.
How to teach your baby to climb?
1, crawling exercise: After 6 months, the baby can turn over on the bed with the abdomen as the fulcrum. Parents can put a toy that can make a sound in front of the baby. The baby will try to hold the toy, but his toes are not on the bed yet, so the baby's body will move backwards. At this time, parents can help push the baby's feet, let his toes rest on the bed and let the baby climb forward.
2, crawling training: after the baby will crawl, parents can hold up the baby's abdomen with both hands or towels, so that the baby's hands and knees can crawl forward. At first, parents should lift the baby's abdomen hard, and when he practices to a certain extent, he will lift his abdomen by himself. Parents can put some moving toys, such as rolling balls and cars. Put it where the baby can reach it, and put it away when the baby is about to get it, so that the baby can gradually learn to crawl forward.
3, crawling game: learning to crawl is a process, parents can use games to let their babies play and practice crawling. For example, drill a tunnel, make a tunnel with a long cardboard box, and let the baby explore what is mysterious at the other end of the tunnel. Or, put some small obstacles on the floor, such as small pillows and flannel toys. Let the baby climb over by himself. When the baby passes these obstacles, he will be happy. Parents should praise him more at this time.
These are all signs that the baby will crawl in a few months. I hope parents can observe the development of their families more. If they find signs that the baby can climb, they can try to let the baby climb by himself. Climbing is a breakthrough and a good development for the baby, which is good for the baby's growth and development. Parents should not restrict their babies from climbing for fear of getting dirty clothes.
