Crawling

Hi my son started crawling at 6 months and my daughter started to army crawl at 6 months then crawled properly at 7 months.

Lucas is doing the bum-shuffling thing instead of crawling.

Jacob started crawling at 7 months.. He was scooting at 6.

Brayden is 8 months and doesn't seem interested in crawling. My mom said I never crawled and started walking at 9 months so we think he'll do the same.

Bray can already stand up by himself.

I ask because I heard alot of bipolar people never crawl, my friend who is bipolar never crawled and the drs asked her mom years later about it. My good friends baby never crawled either and alot of her family is bipolar.

Whooopps sorry

That is the biggest crock of !**@! I have ever heard.
Bipolar being related to not crawling? Please.

I crawled...

What's wrong with what she's asking??

Mami, have you done research on this or are you just wondering??

I'm not a research freak, so I won't be able to tell you if it's right or wrong with 10 pages of info...

But, I can tell you that stereotyping isn't something that holds facts.(not saying you have, but in general) ya know?? I'm sure some bi polar baba's aren't diagnosed until their pre/teen time. So to know at a baba stage is impossible...

All I can say is google it and see what ya get!!

Actually kids are not usually diagnosed with bi-polar until they are teens, and then I think it's a bit sketchy.
Anybody that has teenage girls, or has had the great pleasure of spending a lot of time with one would think they are wacked most of the time. My daughter (16) will be jumping around the house one minute acting like a fool and then 2 minutes later she will be moping around the house like she's all depressed. Then 2 minutes later she's bubbly and cheery again they are moody, not mentally ill. It is very situational.

The new diagnosis, at least in my area is bipolar 2, which a lot of psychiatrists are labeling teens with. It's basically the same thing, but someone with bipolar 2 can cycle from the manic stage to the depressed stage much quicker.

Granted some of these kids that are diagnosed early in life will go on to grow up to be an adult with a mental health disorder, but many will come out of it when their hormones straighten around.

I have never heard of a baby not crawling and later being diagnosed with a mental illness, but I suppose it isn't out of the realm of possibility, what next?

A lot of people are misunderstanding what I said...

People who are diagnosed as bipolar later in there lives many of them never crawled as children. This is what my friends psychologist said to her when she was diagnosed bipolar as a teen, and she never crawled as a baby. Im sure its not a guarantee. I was also just wondering when kids start to crawl, since I know they start to walk usually between 8-14months.
