Detailed explanation-1: -Your baby will likely learn to sit up before being able to crawl. The strength and balance needed to sit up with and without support is typically developed between 6 and 8 months of age, whereas the skill to crawl is typically developed between 7 and 10 months of age.
Detailed explanation-2: -Infants’ motor development is marked by a series of postural milestones: sitting at approximately 6 months of age, hands-and-knees crawling at 8.5 months, and walking at 12 months (Bayley, 1969; Frankenburg, et al., 1992).
Detailed explanation-3: -Crawling is considered the first form of independent movement. It helps develop and enhance our vestibular/balance system, sensory system, cognition, problem solving skills, and coordination. To help your baby succeed at crawling start with exposing them to tummy time while playing and awake at an early age.
