This Stage

6–9 months is when your baby discovers they can move.

Your baby is beginning to understand they can reach objects, move forward, and explore their environment independently. This stage sets the foundation for crawling, sitting, and everything that follows.

Parents at this stage often wonder:

help"When should my baby start crawling?"
help"How do I help without pushing too hard?"
help"Why does my baby seem frustrated trying to move?"

The key insight

Crawling doesn't start with crawling.

It starts with sensory readiness, balance, and body awareness built up over weeks.
