Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
Normally babies crawl by nine months of age. And some babies may not crawl at all and directly learn to walk.
Does your baby sit with out support? can your baby come to sitting position from lying down position on her own? If so then there is nothing to worry. If not then you should get her formal developmental assessment.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
