Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Put your baby in a pair of long, soft pants. Babies with bare legs or clothing that can easily entangle them may choose not to crawl on their hands and knees.
2

Position your baby on his hands and knees and place an enticing toy that rolls --- such as a ball or a toy on wheels --- just out of his reach but enough to motivate him.
3

Get on your hands and knees in front of the infant and verbally encourage him to crawl toward the toy. Smile and roll the toy to increase his interest. He may or may not crawl toward you.
4

Teach and encourage your baby to crawl for 3 to 5 minutes at a time. Complete several sessions throughout the day.
