Growing Together How do infants learn to crawl?

In the initial update it seemed to me that my infant would just crawl. Now with the new pack my little guy can't reach things across the room. Do they need to do something special to reach the milestone?
  • Mine haven’t got there yet either but I think it’s just lots of tummy time and then they’ll start moving gradually.

    From my understanding of watching others on YT and Twitch is has to do with milestones. Like Lilia said... spam tummy time to get milestones. Sometimes my infant would naturally learn things from being left on a mat or in the crib but you need to use tummy time to eventually learn things like crawling.

    BG infants without the pack don't have milestones so they can already do all of these things.

    Thanks for the responses. It looks like you're right. I've just got to where Braden can do tummy time on his own so that will also help.


    After that they push themselves on to all fours, then you practice sitting up with them, then practice standing. They shuffle around first. Once they can sit, they can go on high chair and try out food. My first one hates apple sauce but her twin sister loved it.
  • tummy time lots and lots of tummy time also after lots of tummy time you start getting different specific things in friendly interactions -> activities like learning sitting or standing up or whatnot

    with the playmat your infant can learn grabbing things and such

    and i think some social options were also unlocked with it
  • lots of tummy time and lots of patience ... and lots of trying not to giggle while even the calmest infant has a tantrum over tummy time with their little fists balled up, their little legs kicking, and tears flying everywhere

  • When the update came out, my infant could crawl straight away. When I got GT, I then realised it was ALOT of tummy time! Aging off for this part as it takes such a long time lol.
