Not crawling yet

Hi all

My baby girl is nearly 7.5 months and nor yet crawling. The thing is she has great leg strength and can stand against a chair and support herself for a good few minutes. She can sit up unaided for about 20 minutes so I know she has good neck control.

She seems to be quite weak in the arms and therefore hasn’t even come close to planking or anything to get ready to crawl, which makes me think she may just go straight to walking especially given her ability to stand. However, I understand that crawling has developmental benefits and so I want to give her every opportunity and support in case she does want to.

We do tummy time but she just gets frustrated and rolls onto her back! I’ve tried all the exercises you see online - kneeling, putting her over my leg, etc, but she ends up getting frustrated.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience of this or tips?
