Help Crawling

Has anyone got any tips to help my baby crawl, please? He’s just turned 8 months and has been army crawling since he was 5.5 months.

Disciplining children

My boy is 3 in March and has been biting, full on punching, scratching, kicking and spitting on me for months now and I don’t know how to stop it. Whatever I do doesn’t seem to work. Anyone else in a similar boat or got through it and can give me any advice? Xx

Crawling

My baby is about to be 9 months and he is still just dragging himself across the floor instead of crawling on his knees. I’ve been trying to help him be on his knees more but he still won’t use them to crawl. He’s seems more keen to learn how to stand😂 Anyone else going through this?

Hair Pulling/Face Squeezing

My lil guy has been scrunching my face, lips, neck, and pulling my hair. Everything I read says it’s signs of bonding/thankfulness. He’s pretty strong for a 5.5 mo and sometimes really hurts me. Anyone else experiencing this? If so, are you disciplining/stopping it? What tools are you using?
