Crawling is extremely important! Do not let your little one skip this step

What are the feeding benefits of crawling:

✅ Postural stability: to keep baby upright and well-supported to control, chew, and swallow solids
✅ Shoulder stability: to give a good foundation for advancing jaw and tongue movement
✅ Bilateral coordination: to teach baby to use both sides of the body equally and develop proprioception
✅ Hand and finger strength: to develop fine motor skills for self-feeding
✅ Tactile input to hands: just think how many textures your baby feels with her hands while crawling
✅ Bilateral brain development
