Yes! Crawling is an important developmental milestone that babies should not skip, but it’s not just hands and knees crawling that is important. Both army crawling AND hands & knees crawling are important and have different purposes.

Babies who skip belly crawling or hands and knees crawling are more likely to have reflexes that haven’t integrated fully. While baby may still get to walking with no problem, unintegrated infant reflexes can lead to many challenges later on.

As a pediatric OT, unintegrated infant reflexes are the most consistent underlying motor problem I see when working with school age children with ADHD, Autism and learning challenges.

The brain is built by movement and all the motor milestones have a purpose!

Before babies can sit tall, stand, and run their bodies need time to build strength through movement and exploration.

Floor play, rolling, reaching, pivoting and crawling all help develop the core muscles that support healthy posture and spinal alignment.

When babies miss out on these important early movement experiences, they still reach milestones like walking, but sometimes by using “workaround” movement patterns that put strain on their bodies over time.

Enduring your baby can move freely and giving him plenty of opportunities for movement and play helps build:
🌟Core strength
🌟Healthy posture
🌟 Better balance and coordination
🌟A strong foundation for future skills

Every wiggle, roll, and reach matters! Supporting movement now can make a big difference for your baby’s comfort, confidence, and overall development later on.

✨Does your baby seem tight or unable to move freely?
✨Do you want help supporting ideal motor development in your babies first year of life?
✨Looking for ways to make baby development fun and meet other parents with babies at the same stage of development?
