My daughter will be 7 months next week and shows NO interest in crawling. She learned to roll from her front to her back a little over a month ago, and that's been the end of her "tummy time." She loves to be upright in her jumper, walker, whatever, and is even starting to take a few steps if you hold her hands and "walk" her. (She's never liked laying on her tummy and has been sitting up unsupported for several months now.)
Our doctor says to keep trying to get her to be on her tummy to play and learn to roll or crawl, but does anyone have any idea how to get her to stay on her tummy, short of putting our hands on her back and forcing her to stay like that? And how important is crawling anyway?

Don't worry. It will happen, and when it does, you will dream about the days you have now!!!!
Enjoy them.

My point is...kids do things at their own pace. Good luck!

And trust me, my dh and I firmly believe this is the golden age...she babbles like crazy, giggles, is adorable, and, best of all...she doesn't move!
