It is an amazing sight to behold, your baby starting to take his or her first steps independantly.
You see the transformation your baby has undergone, starting from a baby who has almost no control over his head, arm, leg and body movements from birth and now, around about the age of 11 months to 15 months, starting to take steps forward and walking.
What a transformation indeed.
Not all babies will crawl before learning how to walk. There are babies whol love to crawl around on their hands and knees exploring their environment, which is new to them now that they are mobile. The Vtech Move and Crawl ball is a great toy for encouraging your baby to start crawling if you find that he is not motivate to do so.
But some babies don’t even like to crawl! They aren’t the slightest bit interested in crawling around everywhere and make a seemingly smooth transition from the sitting position to walking, with hardly any crawling in between.
Some babies go through the whole range of developmental stages: from sitting, to crawling, to standing and then to walking.
Whatever your baby does is fine.
Remember, there is no right or wrong way – there is just your baby’s unique way of becoming mobile.
That said, there are different toys you can use, or objects, if you prefer to use homemade toys, to encourage your baby to crawl or stand up or walk.
