[Guest]

Good afternoon doctor, and may Allah bless u for the good work. My baby of 9 months is not crawling although he was looking very normal and active when he play, it's is normal not to start crawling, at stage.

The average age for crawling is about 9 months but some babies never crawl. Children meet developmental milestones differently. Some a little early others later. However, Dr Gbemisola advises that if a child does not crawl by year one, you should take child to see a developmental paediatrician.
