Question 1

at what age do babies begin crawling?

Accepted Answer

6-12 months: Full term healthy babies can start crawling as early as 6 months old or as late as 12 months; some babies go straight from scooting to cruising and walking!

Question 2

babies crawling backwards sign of intelligence?

Accepted Answer

No: Crawling is not even considered a milestone of development. 50% of babies do not crawl, but go straight from sitting to standing with support.

Question 3

is it normal for babies to skip milestones? my 7mo is army crawling but just started pulling up on things. seems he should have mastered crawling 1st.

Accepted Answer

Normal: Some babies never crawl and go directly to cruising and walking. This is totally normal. :)

Question 4

is head crawling in 10.5 months old infant normal? he is also doing weird hand movement (twirling his right hand).

Accepted Answer

Concerned : Using the head to crawl is unusual, especially when combined with abnormal head movements. An evaluation of motor strength and unusual muscular tone is warranted. A general pediatrician should be able to perform the initial exam and determine if further work up or referral is necessary.

Question 5

how to do cardio with an infant?

Accepted Answer

Runner-stroller: Manny big stores carry the so-called runner-stroller (big wheels) designed for faster speed, thus you can use to push your infant along while running/exercising. Just make sure you find a path that is relatively smooth. You can also do treadmill, stationary bike, infront-of-tv activities at home while baby is asleep. If there is a will, there is a way--and u have the will. Consult doc. Good luck.

Question 6

is it bad for an infant eats dirt?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: Many children eat bits of dirt now and again. It is not recommended and most suffer no harm.  There are some gems in dirt which can cause diarrheal illnesses and possibly some toxins in dirt. If your child eats a lot of dirt or eats it frequently, contact your doctor. Otherwise, wash his/her hands and distract him/her with another activity.

Question 7

when to start simple puzzles with babies?

Accepted Answer

Varies: I don't think there is an exact answer.  The child would need to be able to manipulate the pieces.  I think by 18 months, most children could do some easy shapes with help.  Younger children might be able to do them and then some 2 year olds might have frustration with them.  So try them and if they are too frustrating, then wait about 6 months and try again.

Question 8

whats the age range babies start to crawl?

Accepted Answer

7-11 months.: Belly crawling can start at 3 months.  True crawling can start at 7-11 months.  This is average, some can take shorter or longer.

Question 9

what problems do babies of older men have?

Accepted Answer

See below: There maybe a higher risk of autism. Other than that, none.

Question 10

2 babies in 2 sacs. so do they break easily?

Accepted Answer

Congratulations on 2: The amnionic sac the fetus is wraped in tends to have a rubbery flexability / durability thru most of pregnancy. The presense of two does not deminish the strength of the wrap or change its composition.If your uterus tries to push babies out too soon the preasures could break the sac, as the would in any pregnancy. U will be closely monitored as the end approaches so your outcome can be the best.
