What experts say
Crawling and creeping are essential for stimulating brain connections that help with later learning. By providing our babies with opportunities to move in this way we are giving them what they need to get the very best start to their lives. Dr Meredith Bayfield.
Dr Jane Williams – Leading baby development expert
The longer your baby crawls and creeps the better it is for their future learning! Don’t be in a hurry for your child to walk, for it is not how early a child walks, but how much is learnt before walking that will influence the development of a child’s physical, social and academic well-being.
Dr Meredith Sheil – Paediatrician
