How can I encourage my baby to crawl on different surfaces, like grass or carpet?

Asked 2 years ago

My baby hates grass and carpet but our living room has carpet and we spend lots of time outdoors - so grass is not avoidable. I don't want to overload her senses but I would like he to get used to grass.

Begin by gently introducing your baby to diverse textures to help them become comfortable crawling on different surfaces. Begin with brief exposures and progressively increase the amount of time spent on the grass or carpet. To encourage discovery, use toys or activities kids like. Allow them to gradually adjust to the new sensations by providing gentle assistance and reassurance.
