Anon... Please don't think this way. You know what...My baby is; 11 months old and now he has started to roll over. See how late this is. Let your baby take her own time. Baby will do everything. You are not doing anything wrong anywhere. And as the baby is premature let the baby take her own time. Cheer up and enjoy all the cute acts.

Crawling is an optional milestone..some babies dont crawl at all..they directly start walking. My elder kid hardly crawled, she went frm creeping stage to walking with <u>support</u>

I have an old student..&nbsp; Her baby s 10 months now..&nbsp; Her baby is not able to sit by its own..&nbsp; That too term baby..&nbsp;&nbsp; <br> Ur baby is premature baby..&nbsp; With good weight...&nbsp; Babies sit from 8 months to 12 months.. U r baby s age is now 8 months like tat u have to consider when it comes to milestones like crawling sitting walking etc.. U give oil massage,&nbsp; and keep pillows wen ever she starts moving..&nbsp; So that she ll cross it..&nbsp; This will help in stronger muscle :)

Completely agree with <font color ="#3b5998"><b> @616d5a27c1b4770013bcb718 </b></font><font color ="#3b5998"><b></b></font> ...my son started walking at 13 months ..before that he crawled for a month or so....he didn't come on his knees for long time ..he used to crawl on stomach...he is perfectly normal..let her take her own time...and don't think it as your fault...there is nothing wrong with her..she absolutely perfect child...don't feel guilty...give tummy time n make her sit on your lap...that's it...don't worry...

Anon,,, my personal experience is my kiddo started crawling that taking 2- 3 crawls by 11.5 months.. being both doctor mom and dad,, we have ruled out each and every aspect but she was absolutely normal.. the thing is she used to be very lazy baby, so she never wanted to crawl, she started walking by her own by 13th month.. yes we were surprised.. crawling is not at all a major milestone.. so please dont be worried.. give her a good massage and loads of tummy time.. you can encourage to walk directly.. holding on to wall or cot for sometimes helps.. she will do..
