How long after sitting Do babies crawl?
Your baby will likely start crawling soon after he’s able to sit well without support (probably by the time he’s 8 months old). After this point, he can hold his head up to look around, and his arm, leg, and back muscles are strong enough to keep him from falling on the floor when he gets up on his hands and knees.
