But according to both Redlich and Workman, a child also gains many developmental benefits as she navigates her way across the floor. Crawling also helps develop vision skills and gives babies important "proprioceptive input," which Workman explains is feedback given to joints and muscles — in this case, the contact between the floor and the hands or knees.
Finally, crawling helps develop "core stability and coordination, because you're using your opposite arm and leg at the same time, and there's a lot of rhythm and timing that goes with that," says Redlich.

Crawling is a new skill for your baby to learn. Each new skill your baby develops builds on all the previous skills they have learnt, with each one being more complex than the last.
Before crawling, your baby has been busy developing skills like controlling their head, moving their arms, sitting up with and without support, rolling over from front to back and back to front, and holding their own weight through their arms and legs. All of these things are important for developing their strength and ability to start crawling and, later, walking.
Crawling Your baby will probably crawl on their hands and knees, but not all babies crawl the same way, and that's OK. There are some other crawling styles you might notice, such as shuffling on the tummy 'commando-style', sliding along on their bottom 'bum-shuffling' , or crawling backwards instead of forwards. Not all babies crawl. Some skip the crawling stage completely.
