What should you do to help your baby crawl?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Crawling usually starts between 6-10 months, and each baby develops at their own pace. To encourage crawling, you can give your baby lots of tummy time on a safe, open floor. Place toys just out of reach to give them motivation to move forward. Before crawling, your baby might try other ways of moving—scooting, shuffling backward, or wiggling—and all of these are normal parts of development. Using a walker isn't recommended because it can delay crawling development and carries fall risks. If your baby shows no crawling attempts by 12 months or moves using only one side of their body, it's good to talk to your pediatrician.
