* Age: Crawling typically starts around 6-10 months, but some babies might crawl earlier or later.
* Individual Development: Each baby develops at their own pace. Some babies are faster than others.
* Motivation: A baby might crawl faster if they are chasing a toy or trying to reach something they want.
* Surface: A smooth, flat surface will allow for faster crawling than a carpeted or uneven surface.
General Observations:
* Most babies crawl at a speed of around 1-2 feet per second.
* Some babies might crawl faster, especially if they are motivated and on a smooth surface.
* You can find videos online of babies crawling surprisingly quickly, but these are often exceptional cases.
Instead of focusing on speed, it's better to celebrate the milestones your baby reaches as they develop their motor skills. Crawling is a huge accomplishment, and it's more important to encourage your baby's progress than to compare them to other babies.
