Re: concerned about crawling

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

Is your first baby? If so, then I think it might just be hard to watch

the struggles which go along with babies learning their developmental milestones

(which crawling is not actually even considered to be one because not all babies

do it and there is such a wide variety of ages the do it at). I always

struggle to watch all my babies try to do something, from rolling over to

walking. I have done this with four babies now and it is still hard, though not

as hard as with the first one.

is too young to crawl, but my non-club footed three other babies crawled

a 9 1/2, 10 1/2 and 8 months respectively so you can see there is a pretty wide

range of " normal " for babies crawl at, even without a brace on part of the time.

Hang in there and he will do it in his own timing.

Hi I have not posted for a while, my " Little Prince " was born

with a left club foot. He is being treated by Dr. Ponseti. He is in

his shoes now 16-18 hours. He is soooo wanting to crawl with and

without the shoes/brace. I am feeling sooo helpless and frustrated

that he can't do it. They just keep telling us that " babies crawl with

these on! " I just can't imagine it! He just turned 8 months a few

days ago. I would love to hear from someone. It is breaking my heart

to watch him!

thanks

Hi,

Austin is 9 1/2 months old and he started crawling when he was about 5 1/2

months to 6 months old. He started with the commando crawl and did that fine

with the bar and without the bar. Just about 2 weeks ago he was to start

crawling on his hands and knees. Either way he has been able to get around fine

for the past few months. Good luck

My boys both crawled at 6 months of age. after 6 months of casting, and

Everett while in his Ponseti FAB. Not that your child is " behind "

developmentally, but he will crawl when he's ready, with or with out the FAB.

Or he might skip crawling and go straigh to crusing/walking!

Hi 's mommy!

My little prince too was a late crawler(first child as well)-he didnt

begin crawling until he was 9 months old-actually he started crawling

1 day before he had hand surgery!! so cast and all-he was crawling

commando style. He didnt start walking until this past february.

However, once he started crawling, he never stopped and didnt slow

down. If you are truly concerned-have carter evaluated by your

county's early intervention program. My son is in EI and receives pt,

ot, and speech therapy. As much as you want to do it for him, he will

do it in his own time.

hang in there,

My little guy with bcf (3 1/2 mos old) just figured out how to roll

over both ways wearing the DBB. Meanwhile, my first son (no

clubfeet) didn't roll over til 5 1/2 mos., so it just goes to show ya

how different babies can be. I remember getting down on the floor

with my older son (now 23 mos) and trying to " help " him roll over.

Then he surprised all of us by commando crawling at 7 months. Who

knows!

AHH, the waiting and the have patience it will happen game. Just

remember that baby's brains are programmed to move; so they will

eventually do it. Tenny went into his FAB when he was 7 months and he

crawled before we reduced hours at 10 months. One old cowboy commented

to me that " he sure gets around good with that fancy pair of spurs on. "

will do the moving thing with the brace. It will happen. If I

say have patience, will you slap me? (I always say I don't want

patience that bad) Yesturday morning, Tenny climbed from the floor, up

the side of the tub and onto the bathroom counter in his brace. In

fact, I put his shoes on him for nap time so he won't climb out of his

crib and tell me " done " . (Tenny is just about 2) Next week he will

probably figure how to get out of the crib with his shoes on, just since

I opened my big mouth today. will figure it out soon. In the

mean time, do ya want to trade kids for a bit? One less child moving at

this house would be awfully nice.

Yes, not only will your little guy crawl, eventually he'll be able to

walk! LOL Livi is 26 months, and cracks me up - she can walk, climb,

etc. in her brace - think like you walk on a snowboard.

It will happen - kids are so adaptive!!!

My kids did not crawl until 11 months and 10 months. Sammy at 10

months in his FAB. Crawling is one of those milestones that not every

baby actually does, like ee said, sometimes they just skip it. : )

Have no fear! He WILL figure it out. My crawled like a speed

demon with his brace on. They even took video of him at Shriner's to

show to other parents because the brace didn't slow him down a bit!

He also walked in the brace which absolutely blew my mind. I didn't

think it was possible. But he acted as if it was a part of his body

and he learned what he needed to learn with the darn thing on.

Our daughter crawled much much better in her brace than without it on

when she first started crawling. Believe me they do crawl, cruise,

climb, even dance (the macarana - Kori's daughter) in it.

Our daughter started crawling at right around 's age, believe me,

one day soon he is gonna take off and then you will be running after

him ever after lol.

My Maddie, who just turned 8 months, is in the FAB about 14 hours a day. She

isn't crawling yet either. In fact she just learned how to roll over last week.

I don't think that not crawling is a problem yet, but I'm new at this too, so I

don't know. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone.

My son Logan just turned 9 months this week. He doesn’t crawl. We are only

in the FAB 12-14 hours, so it really has nothing to do with his crawling.

Logan just does not want to do it. He has always hated to be on his

stomach, and now wants to try to pull himself up. Babies seem to do things

when they are ready. My nephew crawled so well he never wanted to walk. At

some point there was a ponsetti video everyone was downloading that showed

kids crawling and walking with the FAB on. Don’t worry, if he wants to

crawl, he’ll get it.
