It is generally considered okay for babies to skip crawling, as long as they are developing other important motor skills.
Crawling is a developmental milestone, but it isn't mandatory for every child. Some babies may go straight from tummy time to walking or skip crawling altogether. This is often due to individual differences in physical development and temperament.
While crawling offers numerous benefits like strengthening muscles, improving coordination, and developing spatial awareness, these benefits can also be achieved through other activities like rolling, sitting, standing, and walking.
If your baby is skipping crawling, it's essential to observe their overall development. If they are meeting other milestones, like rolling, sitting, and standing, then there is no need to worry. However, if you have any concerns, it's always best to consult with your pediatrician.
Remember, every baby develops at their own pace. Some babies may crawl for a short period, while others may skip it entirely. The important thing is that your baby is progressing and developing their motor skills.
