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!

    • The middle classes were never going to accept a poundshop- far too downmarket for them and not that good for their expected house price increases. Not one to dicsuss around the table at a dinner party either! 
    • Unfortunately the cleaning company still has a Facebook page called 'East dulwich forum' which is what you are seeing here.  Facebook Group = a place where other people can participate. Facebook Page = a profile page for a business where only the business can post.   I will be disputing the name of the cleaning company's Facebook Page as well as its obviously designed to mislead people that its related to this website, but the main aim was to prevent them using 'East Dulwich Forum' as their group name, which has been somewhat achieved (even if they've just just appended '& Herne Hill' 😆)  
    • Hi, my wife lost a single (left) apple earpod this morning running for the train. It was lost on Melbourne Grove, she believes it was near the Jarvis Road junction (where Gaby Leon clinic is on the corner). Would be hugely appreciative if anyone has found it! I went by 30mins later and couldn't see it anywhere.. Many thanks!
    • The fake East Dulwich group has thousands of members and has now added Herne Hill to their title. If you look up members, the admin team will come up and it’s run by I think Brazilian  admins such as Samual Oliveira, and they own East Dulwich Cleaners and East Dulwich Builders.  The real EDF recently set up by Joe on FB is new and members are lower and the bio states it’s connected to this group.    Likewise if you check out the admin on my East Dulwich Mums, you’ll see we are not the same people that run the other groups.  All the information is on the groups when you read the bio and check the admin list.  My East Dulwich Mums group is private and we have three admins so we all just pop on and off the group throughout the day to approve posts and it has been working successfully since we first started the group. We do give a lot of members pre approval who have proven to be trustworthy and genuine. We also vet members on sign up to try and weed out the spammers. Obviously now and again one will slip through the net but for the most part having the group private and with posts all requiring approval has meant it’s pretty much well run with minimal drama.
