This is often a precursor to some movement. You might anticipate some attempts at scooting or crawling if you notice your little one getting up onto their hands and knees and rocking back and forth a little. It might take your baby a little while to develop the confidence to shift from sitting to crawling. Some babies get moving really early, while others take a more leisurely approach. That may seem like a pretty big range to you, but it’s actually the normal span of time. Most babies begin scooting, creeping, or crawling between 6 and 12 months. Once your baby can sit unassisted, it’s time to start anticipating some attempts at scooting or crawling. Most experts will tell you to start watching for the first signs of creeping and crawling after your baby hits the 6-month-old mark. Why not just roll with it? That’s the attitude taken by some babies who prefer to roll on the floor to get to where they want to go. You may have heard this called “combat crawling” or the “army crawl.” Rolling Others flop down on their bellies and use their arms to drag themselves along with their legs just along for the ride. Some babies even scoot sideways on their bottoms, scuttling like a crab on the beach. They might go forward, or they might go backward. Some babies scoot along on their bottoms from a seated position, using their arms to propel them. Here’s what you might see: Bottom scooting Your baby may prefer one style over another, or you might see a baby who scoots along on their bottom in many different directions, essentially combining a couple of styles into one. It’s a prelude to traditional crawling for some babies, but others prefer scooting to get around and may stick with it until they’re ready to start pulling up and try walking. Scooting is one (adorable) way some babies get around when they first start moving independently.
