To assist your child learn to crawl, here are five tips: Give your infant plenty of time on his or her stomach Tummy time is healthy for newborns when they are awake, but they should always sleep on their backs. In order to develop strong trunk and back muscles and unrestricted limb movement, your baby needs to spend time laying on his or her tummy. Both of these activities aid in the development of the muscles necessary to begin crawling when the child is old enough. Tummy time may be a challenge for some newborns, particularly at first. Even if your child opposes or cries out, you should try brief spurts. It's also a good idea to let them try out a few different positions on the floor while they're playing.

Limit time spent in walkers and bouncers It may take longer for babies who aren't exposed to a lot of floor time to build the muscles necessary to crawl. It's important to let your infant some time on the floor so that he or she may explore and move freely.
