Is Your Baby on the Right Track?
Developmental Milestone: Crawling
"By six months your child shouldn't be sedentary for more than an hour at a time when awake," says Dr. Jennifer Trachtenberg, author of Good Kids Bad Habits. Do things to help him crawl or bum shuffle, such as rolling toys away from him or placing interesting objects just out of reach.
By nine months, your child should be able to look for a hidden or dropped object. You can help build his memory and large motor skills by letting him play with an object first, then hiding it to see if he can find it.
