11 months not crawling - should I be worried?

He rolls everywhere, sits, scoots on his bum. No interest in being on his belly. HV says fine but I'm in mum groups where 7mo are crawling. Reassurance?

Range is huge. Some don't crawl until 12mo. Walking by 18mo is the watch point.

Bum shuffling counts as mobility - many bum shufflers skip crawling entirely and walk later.

Mine never crawled. Walked at 14 months. Now a totally normal 4 year old.

Tummy time was hell for ours too. He walked at 13mo and never crawled.

Floor time more than tummy time - put toys just out of reach. Don't sweat the position.
