If your child has had no developmental problems up to this point she sits without support, grabs objects with both hands, uses arms and legs equally, rolls over both ways, stands on legs if supported , you don't need to worry. To entice your child to crawl , put toys just out of her reach and see if she attempts to reach them. Her crawling style may be rough around the edges, but it doesn't matter as long as she gets around.
Some infants forgo crawling and proceed directly to pulling themselves up to standing, cruising on furniture, walking with some help, and finally, walking on their own. Others get around just fine by rolling on the floor, bottom shuffling, or creeping. We believe you should always know the source of the information you're seeing.
