Parents can encourage their babies to crawl via;
One of the favorite and most accomplished method by parents is using toy temptation. Learn and observe about your baby’s favorite item and try to use it as a bait to get them crawling. Put the item out of the baby’s reach and observe if they even try to struggle for movement. A little bit encouragement is all they need and in no time the baby start to crawl toward the object.
- Make the floor a baby proof space:
Babies like free time without restrictions therefore parents are advised to free some space and baby proof it before putting the baby down on the floor. Let the baby explore the space under the parent’s supervision with safe surroundings and items.
Babies do not start crawling all at once they take initiative from wiggling. Parents put their babies down on their belly which they take as a sense of freedom and start wiggling. At some point they try to move in particular direction given they find something tempting or just to explore.
Parents can mimic crawling along with their babies to help encourage their need to move across the floor.
During the stage of crawling, baby uses their muscle strength henceforth an oil massage is what is mandatory. Full body oil massage will enhance blood flow in the baby’s muscles as well as provide awareness to the baby of their body positions.
