A typical crawling pattern appears at which age range?

• B. 4-6 months
• C. 6-10 months
• D. 10-14 months

Answer: (C)

Crawling appears when infants gain the trunk control and arm strength to move from a prone position into a hands-and-knees or belly crawl. Around six to ten months, most babies start to coordinate their arms and legs to propel themselves forward. Earlier, at two to four months, they’re still developing head control and basic rolling, not crawling. By ten to fourteen months, many babies are standing or taking first steps, so crawling is already well established or may be less emphasized. So the typical crawling window is six to ten months.
