Crawling to pulling up to stand — how to help
Many babies crawl for weeks or months before pulling up to stand, and a little extra time is usually normal. Encourage it through play — toys on a low table to reach for, supported standing practice and half-kneeling games. Seek a developmental check if your child is not bearing weight on the legs, not pulling up by around 12 months, seems stiff or floppy, or strongly favours one side. These are reasons to look early, not to worry.
