Helo umme Abdullah you can make him sit in a corner and hold him, in the sides place pillows they will try to crawl. You have to make sit with support then only they start crawling. Some babies without crawling thet start walking. Dont worry if baby is active. Some babies maybe late in crawling or walking as it differs from one baby to another

Hi umme Abdullah !has he reached all other milestones on time like sitting without support,rolling sideways ? put child's favourite object or a toy which emits light and sound in front of him by making him sit on the floor on a mattress with pillows all around so that he doens't get hurt. He will try sooner or later to catch it. also avoid making the baby sit on a walker as it puts unnecessary pressure on knee joints.

umme Abdullah hi.... baby doesn't crawl because either the weight of the baby is more or he doesn't want to crawl on the hard surface as it gets painful.. on the knees... if he is able to move in Walker then there is no need to panic... at times baby doesn't want to crawl... they start wapking after 10 to 11 months with the help of some Walker or parents assisting them or even by touching and holding the things around them ...but if you still want to see the baby crawl you can give him tummy time means you can place him on his tummy and let the baby handle his weight on the wrist and tknees... this can act as an exercise to strengthen his knees and arms... but don't expect that he will start moving or crawling as soon as you give him tummy time
