I think my baby's trying to crawl...but guess it might take him ages to get there (not in a hurry - it's hard enough as it is, without having to watch him every minute!). But anyway, those whose babies have reached this point, does this sound familiar? He props himself up with his hands - kind of rearing up - and also pushes up onto his knees. Separately, he does a lurchy thing - often ends up several feet away from where he's put, not just by rolling, but we're not quite sure how! This morning he got to the top of the cot, and was playing with the soft toys there. I know all babes are different etc, but guess I just wondered if all babies do this at this stage (6.5mths) and it doesn't necessarily mean crawling is around the corner?

Sounds like he is definitely ready to start exploring. In my experience they all do it in their own way/time though. No 1 son roled everwhere (the freak!) until he was about 18 months old then one day he stood up and walked.


No 2 did what your boy is doing and then went onto proper crawling by about 8/9 months. Shes nearly one and cruising round the furniture, but no sign of steps.


Time to get eyes in the back of your head!

    • Bought a mattress with amazing reviews on the Mattressman website last year but it didn’t work for me. The exchange process was smooth and after selecting a few I went up to Stevenage 😬 for the day to try the mattresses in the shop. Best decision ever! Ended up buying a Sealy one with no reviews and I absolutely love it every single night (I have severe back issues). Mattresses are a personal thing so from my experience just make sure you try and see what your body says 😊  
    • Oh dear, sorry 😭 Always different opinions on a forum!
    • The Vispring mattresses are good but very expensive and extremely heavy, so heavy that I couldn’t  turn the one I had bought in a sale at Arding & Hobbs, Clapham Junction, before they closed down.   I think I paid about £500 for the whole bed as it had been a former display model.     As said above, do have a look at the Dunlopillo beds -  they are made of latex, which is very different to memory foam.  If they still make them, see if you can find a pillow top version.  A friend of mine bought that version. She loves it.  Bought from a shop in Bristol.   Lots of furniture stores sell Dunlopillo, but evidently not John Lewis anymore.  You really need to go round various stores and try out different mattresses.  A sprung base also makes a big difference.
