Anyone's LOs not crawling?

Ours will be 10 months in a matter of a couple days, and neither of them crawl.  They were born 6 weeks early, so their adjusted age is only 8.5 months.  At the 9 month check, their pedi was not worried.  I'm not really worried about it, just surprised, because they're both so smart, and have hit all their other milestones on time, even though they're preemies. 

Some people say that some babies just don't crawl until RIGHT before they walk.  My coworkers grandson started crawling at 12 months and walked a week later...so who knows.  Thoughts?

I say give it some time.  My DD didn't start crawling until last week.  She is 11 months old and perfectly healthy!

My LO didn't crawl she was almost 10 months old and didn't walk until 14 months. I wouldn't worry at this point at all.

Cuties!!

my almost 5 years old never crawled ... he scooted on his butt, and didn't walk until 15 months. 

meanwhile the baby started crawling at 10 months ...

My DS never really crawled. He kind of scooted around and then started pulling up, cruising, them walking shortly before a year old. My daughter, however has been crawling since around 7 months and is still using that as her "mode of transportation". :. I think all babies are just different

Both DD1 and DS were born 4 weeks early.

DD1 crawled at 11 months and walked at 15 months.

DS crawled at 10 months and walked at almost 17 months.

Rowan just started crawling this week. Up until now she's been focussing on communication and fine motor skills, and just kind of let the gross motor skills hang. Also, she HATES intermediary steps (was the same with sitting) and clearly just refused to do it until she could do it right. Went straight from not crawling at all to full on all fours crawling in the space of a single day. No army crawling, no backwards, etc.

Not all kids crawl, and even without the correction for premature birth, your kids are still well within the range for crawling. I wouldn't worry if I were you.

My DD started crawling on all 4s at 10 months (before she did the army crawling). And she is 13 months and not walking yet.

Yes, give it time. It's so hard to be patient for our babies to meet milestones isn't it? :)

DS army crawled, with belly on the floor for a long time. It wasn't until a few weeks ago that he really got the hang of hands and knees crawling. And now he's lightning fast... 

Make sure you baby proof everything now.  Its amazing the things he gets into...

My son will be 10 months in a few days.  Zero interest in crawling.  He hated tummy time since the start.   But he loves to stand so I just let him cruise and furniture walk all over the place. 

I went so far  to put really appealing toys within crawlings reach and I got nothing but tears.  

I never crawled as a baby, so he's taking a cue for me I guess!  I personally am not worried one bit!

DD can roll across the room, but doesn't do it with the intent to move.  She just started propelling herself backwards by pushing with her hands when on hardwoods and if you brace her feet she'll push off, but that happened just this past week at 9.5 mo.  She doesn't stand assisted very well (always sticks her butt out).  At her 9 month appointment the pediatrician said if she isn't pulling up and cruising by 12 months they will have her evaulated by a PT, but for now don't worry.

I would really like her to crawl and we've done all sorts of little tricks to encourage her, but the reality is that right now she just doesn't want to/isn't ready.

DS1 didn't crawl until 11 months and didn't walk until 15.5 months. He is very cautious and didn't try anything until he knew he wouldn't fall. He is perfectly healthy. DS2 started crawling at 7 months and started walking at 10 months. He is also perfectly healthy, just a lot more adventurous! :) Also, DS1 was a big chunky monkey and DS2 is a peanut so that makes a difference as well.

My dd crawls occasionally, backwards!  I don't really even think it's totally intentional at this point.
