Crawling is not essential for all babies. Some skip crawling and go straight to walking, which is normal.
It's common for babies to reach milestones at their own pace. Focus on their overall development rather than specific milestones.
Babies may scoot on their bottoms, roll, or pull themselves up instead of crawling. These are normal variations.
Consult a pediatrician if your baby shows no interest in moving or has difficulty with other developmental skills.
Encourage crawling by providing plenty of tummy time, using toys to motivate movement, and ensuring a safe space for exploration.
