What It Means If Your Baby Is Scooting Instead of Crawling
If you hear the words “creepy, crawly things” and think “babies” instead of “bugs,” then you might be a parent.
Before babies walk, they typically creep, scoot, or crawl. (Not always, of course, since some kids actually skip this stage altogether.) It’s how they begin to explore their world in yet another way.
And you can’t really predict how your baby will choose to start moving. We tend to think of the traditional crawling method on hands and knees, but lots of babies have their own ideas about the best way to crawl.
For many, scooting is their preferred way to get around — and that’s perfectly OK.
