Babies can crawl, crawl or move by moving their buttocks - using one hand behind and front leg to push themselves forward.

Crawling is the first method for your baby to be able to effectively move around on its own. Usually, babies will first learn to pull themselves with their hands and stand up using their hands and knees. Then your baby will find a way to move back and forth by pushing their knees.

All variations of crawling are intended to strengthen the muscles to help the baby walk soon. No matter which way your baby is moving, observing how she deals with problems around her can be a little fun for you.

Standing and handrails

Baby can stand up when holding on to furniture. In fact, if you let your baby stand by the sofa, the baby can hold on to stand up, although he will do this in a very difficult and strenuous way.

At this stage some parents often let their children ride in a walker. But it's not a good idea because the walker isn't safe: Your baby can use it to reach for things they wouldn't normally get, like a hot stove or bottle of bleach. Furthermore, it will prevent your baby from playing on the floor - this can be helpful for your baby to learn to walk by giving him the opportunity to crawl, stretch, and move while holding onto furniture.

Safety first

This new ability to move also means it's easier for babies to crash and fall. It is recommended to move cloth curtains and ropes out of the reach of the child, cushion cushioning in sharp corners at the table, install locks in toilet seats, relocate trees that could endanger higher areas Clean up harmful cleaners and medical drugs, cover electrical outlets and keep stairs top and bottom safe.

Underdeveloped

Developmental delay may or may not indicate a permanent or permanent developmental disturbance. In fact, most children recover immediately. For example, in preterm babies, the baby's development will often lag behind its peers, but as an adult, the baby will still reach the height and weight of the standard that the baby. required.

Each baby's development is usually very unique to each baby, although babies tend to acquire similar skills throughout the process. Some infants develop rudimentary motor skills such as sitting earlier, while others rapidly acquire more subtle motor skills, such as handling small objects. Some children are slow to walk, but can quickly detect sounds. Most importantly, as time passes, your child will be able to continue to develop ever more refined mental and physical skills.

However, language learning delays should be closely and strictly monitored by you. They can be the result of a lack of communication with an adult, a baby with hearing problems or less common reasons including conditions such as spina bifida and autism.

Mother's concern

What are the things you need to care about?

Deal with the mess your baby makes when he can crawl

If your baby crawls around messing things up and you can't stand seeing the mess, don't worry, there are a few things you can do to deal with it. than:

Make sure your baby's house is always safe for your baby: before you let your baby explore every corner of the house, make sure your baby is safe.

Limit space for your baby: try to limit the clutter that your baby presents in one or two rooms or just certain areas of the house. You can let your baby run and dance freely in his or her own room or in the kitchen, family room or living room when you are with you.

Control yourself: don't follow your baby around when he's messing around and taking away everything he takes out. This will make the baby angry and make him feel that everything he does is unacceptable.

Teach your baby over and over again about tidiness: don't just keep cleaning up your baby's mess. Pick up a few toys with your baby at the end of each playtime and tell them, "Can you help me now pick up this toy and put it away?". You can do this when your baby is not old enough to understand what you mean.

Let them mess: don't complain over and over about the mess they show or make them feel that showing natural and healthy curiosity is something bad and means they're doing something. bad. If you don't want your child to mess around, let them know in the soft way of a teacher, not as harsh as a judge.

You can't stop your baby from messing around, but don't get involved with your baby: don't assume that since you are playing a one-to-one game, let the mess grow and learn to ignore it. it. Such a life will not be beneficial for your spirit and will not be beneficial for your baby.

Dignity aside: you won't always be able to keep up with the damage your tiny storm does, but don't let your quiet resting place like the living room or bedroom fall into chaos. Do not allow your baby to play in those locations or ensure that the room will always be cleaned in the afternoon or evening.

Safe play: the idea of ​​"a mess, let it be cluttered" should have exceptions if there is a threat to the child's safety. If baby spills juice or spills a pet's water bowl, clean it up immediately. Spilled water will turn the unpaved floor into an ice rink and cause your baby to fall. Pick up paper and magazines before your baby touches them, and keep aisles (especially stairs) clear, and free of wheeled toys at all times.
