Parenting after a Loss

Sitting up...

On baby center it says LO should be sitting up unassisted by 6 mts for short periods.  I feel like Ellie is NO WHERE near that.  She can sit up with the boppy around her and even sometimes folds forward in half! I wasn't worried knowing that all LO's progress differently.

What has been your experience?

  • Yes - they should sit unassisted by 6 months. 9 months at the latest. DS has always been super early with gross motor milestones.

  • You can and probably should help her work on this skill by putting her in the sitting position and using as little support from your hands as possible. This helps her work on the muscles she needs.

  • DS just finally got this right at 6 months, where he could stay for a full minute or two. He's just now at the point where he doesn't really topple over

  • A is not sitting either. I don't think she even has any interest in it. She is much more interested in lap-standing. If I sit her up she just flings herself backwards.

  • Cabe has been sitting up without proping himself up with his arms for over two weeks now... but he has been fast developmentally, he's also been pulling himself up to stand, but if I were you, I wouldn't worry about it but if not maybe you can ask your pedi if there are ways to help her build up her muscles...
