First if you are worried about baby and live in the US reach out to the early intervention program in your state. You can self refer and it’s free (at least in our state). They may say she’s fine or they may want to start services either way you get the knowledge you need! If baby is a good napper maybe you could find a flexible job to do during nap time?
Some babies don’t crawl! And standing with support can happen from 7-12 months. There’s such a wide range of normal, don’t stress yourself over it 😊
My baby doesn’t like crawling but is trying to learn to stand and walk even on his own. Like Kassidi said, some babies just don’t crawl. Don’t sweat it, there’s some good advice in here for you!!!!
Coming from someone who has studied child development for infants through pre k. Like many have stated, children develop at their own pace , and some skip crawling all together. It’s all normal. But if you want to ease your worries, or receive answers talk to your pediatrician. They can help! You can always work on them standing with your support and practice the sitting up with their strength. There’s a lot of resources out there if you want to look into them. Take a breath and remember, as long as you love them they’ll be fine 🫂. As for childcare- hands down it is ridiculously expensive! But if you decide you want to work, my company is hiring. We do work from home- everything is on zoom. You can work the hours that fit your schedule! It’s been rated a top company for women too! No experience necessary either.
Totally fine to have these thoughts and feelings. Being a mum can be a bit of a rollercoaster for sure! All makes develop completely differently so try not to compare against others. Your baby will be doing absolutely fine! Have you considered some flexible work? I run an online travel business and do this when my baby naps or is in bed at night. Happy to explain how it works if you like x
Hey! I totally get where you’re coming from—being a stay-at-home mom can be really overwhelming. It’s tough when you’re worried about your baby’s development, especially with her not crawling or standing yet. Just remember, every baby moves at their own pace, but talking to your pediatrician could help ease your worries. And I totally feel you on wanting to get back to work. Childcare costs are insane, and not having any help makes it even harder. Have you thought about looking into flexible or remote jobs? Even just a part-time gig could help you feel more independent and bring in some extra cash without needing full-time childcare. It’s easy to lose yourself in all of this, too. If there’s something you used to love doing, maybe you could try to find a little time for it again, even just a bit. It might help you feel more like yourself!
