Crawling and Cruising #shorts

An 8-month-old is a baby on the move! They may be crawling, scooting, cruising — babies this age have many ways to get around. But one way or another, they want to explore their world!

Don’t worry if your baby isn’t crawling yet. Some babies skip crawling entirely and go straight to walking!
Prompt baby to crawl by placing an enticing new toy just out of their reach. Or play “catch me” — you’re the exciting object they have to stretch for.
Put up your baby gates. Stairs are dangerous for mobile babies.
Woo their interest away from those tantalizing stairs with a mini-obstacle course built of cushions, blocks and pillows. #shorts #crawling #childdevelopment
