If you want to help your child learn the most important skill - crawling, then you should not rely on textbooks. Here are some tips on how to help your baby get on all fours.
Increase the space
If you have a small apartment, try to find a free area for easy movement. It can be a long corridor or a path to the kitchen.
Spring cleaning regularly
Wash the floor and dust it every day. Vacuum carpets and do a global cleaning once a week. Do not use chemicals in places where your baby is often.
Attract your child's attention with toys
Lay out your favorite toys around the baby within an easy reach. So that wherever he turns, he sees the bait everywhere. You should not help the child, let him try to get closer. Then praise the baby and explain that he is doing everything right.

Do not interfere
Don't put extra clothes on your child. The child will be uncomfortable to move if he is dressed like a cabbage. And be sure to wear comfortable socks with a rubberized sole - in them it will be easier for the baby to push off the floor with his feet.
Learn by example
The best way to teach a kid is to show by example. So get knee pads, get on all fours and show you how to master the apartment space.
