my mom passed away a few months before i found out i was pregnant. this channel helps me so much, you have no idea. 😭 🥰

Baby is 6.5 months and he’s been starting to get into the 4 point position. It’s so cute when he rocks back and forth and it looks like he so badly wants to follow us around the house. He’s a determined little man

My baby is already going to be 10 months in a few days and she doesn’t crawl… the Dr told us to have her more on the floor and once we did that the first day she started rolling back and forth and being on her tummy more pushing and kind of swimming. I’m getting very anxious and I feel bad that I didn’t know what to do with my baby to help her. My husband is so over protective so that’s mainly why she wasn’t on the floor a lot because he always was worried that she was gonna fall and hit her head… and also because the germs… anyway now we bought her the floor foam letter squares to have more cushion since we have tile. Your vid helped me figure how to help her. Thanks!

[MarianaGarcia-fgoy]

I’m very grateful for all your videos! You explain with clarity all we can do to improve and develop the baby skills. My 5 month old is giving me signs to crawl he is very active and knows how to roll, pivot and sits without support. I’m always watching and Re watching to ser if I missed something! Thank you Emma! We are going to continue following your tips! My baby is developing so gracefully ❤

[beccab]

Can not give enough gratitude to Emma, she's helping a single mom learn knowledge that would usually take a whole village to know. Thank you!

[reedandesmas]

I am watching this because I am so excited to see my son crawling. He just turned 4 months. He knows how to roll on his tummy. And thank you so much Emma. Your videos helped a lot.

[Natalia-bsbs]

Your videos have helped me so much. I'd made the mistake of not doing tummy time after my baby learned to sit up and as a result she didn't know how to roll from her tummy at 7 months. After watching this and your other video about babies who hate tummy time, we got back into it and within days she was rolling! Thank you so much!

[kareemmargaretabiade]

Knowledge indeed is power. My baby clock 8 months yesterday and has been moving backward for a while. This little exercise helped her to move forward a bit and m super excited.

M on my way to practicing more. Thank you so much Emma. Your videos have been so useful. You're a blessing to first time Mum like me.

God bless you

[heycharise]

PS your videos since giving birth have been infinitely helpful to me in gaining clarity and peace of mind that we are not alone and are on track! Thank you so much for your channel.

[jihenekhemiri]

Thank you!!! My baby boy turns 6 months this week and today he hit the first arm and leg coordinations for crawling! He has been inching his way recently but seeing the arm and leg action it’s only a matter of time before he gets the hang of it. He’s so eager to move. I’m not ready!!! Hahaha. Cheers to all the fellow new parents in 2023 🎉

My little travelling buddy is now 3 months and has perfected the rolling over and now trying to crawl. This video is a huge help, thanks Emma. Been watching your vids a lot ❤️

[deannabitsue]

Your videos are so helpful. You break it down and explain very well. I wish I found your videos way earlier. My son is 7 months old and is behind. But I know he will gain all the knowledge and strength to learn all the skills. Thank you for your videos

[hannahnguyen]

So helpful for me who the first time mom.
My baby is 6 months, she is in 4 points position and back- forward motion, but not move.
Thanks you, now i know how to encourage her to crawl ☺️

[deliasimms]

Very useful as I was getting worried that my 9.5 month old hasn't got to this milestone yet but with some support he will. ( he sits, holds up body and rolls side to side a lot).

[jessicatoth]

Perfect timing! My little guy is 5.5 months and is starting to show very early signs of getting ready to crawl. Thanks for posting!

[vyrusnationgaming]

I have a 4 month old boy and he is pushing his upper body off the floor.
Very wide hand positions but he gets the idea. When he has this wide arm span trying to push himself off of the floor, i gently place my arms behind his upper arms near his arm pits and i just apply a little pressure to straighten out his arms underneath him.
He can hold it for about half a second before he flatens out again, but i do it every time he tries to push off the ground because it helps teach him where his hands need to be.

[xLadyBanana]

My baby has been trying so hard to crawl. He’s trying to pull both knees underneath him, but he pushes himself backwards instead. He loves tummy time, and playing in his Baby Einstein bouncy seat to strengthen his legs. He isn’t sitting all the way yet, though he can balance for a short amount of time. He often leans forward and face pants.
