  It means the baby has enough head and torso control that s/he can sit supported without falling over.

  Thanks. But I'm still wondering what you mean when you say "s/he can sit supported"... like, on the floor with a boppy pillow behind them? or in a high chair? I feel like I'm missing something so obvious and feeling kind of stupid... I just keep seeing several people write that their LO is a supported sitter when talking about giving them solids and I can't quite figure out what it means or why it matters.

  Sitting up in a high chair without falling over quickly. My DD can sit for a little bit but then gets tired. Same thing on the couch. Can sit up for a while but gets tired. I dont think a boppy counts as she could "sit" in that when she was 1 month old!
