when did you LO's sit unassisted?

My girls were 2 months early, now are 7 1/2 months (not adjusted) and still are not sitting unassited. They do for a few seconds here and there but not good enough that I can walk away w/out fear that they'll fall over. 

My question is when did your LO's sit unassisted w/out any problems for extended time?

  • Not until about 7 months.  They got really good at it right around their 8 month-day.

  • My boys were born at 37w 1d.  They started sitting up right around 6 months.  I didn't feel comfortable letting them sit up alone without a Bobby around them until around 7 1/2 months.

  • 6.5 months for both. But G would practice more than I, so she was sturdier at first. They were born at 35 weeks.

  • Mine still fall over! But they are much better then they were even a month ago...I found using the boppy helpful but now I think it hinders them because they think it will always be there to catch them!
  • Mine were born at 37w3d, they started sitting up unassisted at 6 and 6.5 months, but I'm just now (at a little over 7 months) feeling comfortable leaving them on their own.

  • Mine started sitting unassisted for short periods (20-30 seconds) right at 7.5m. They were only 2 weeks early though, and it took a few more weeks for them to be able to sit unassisted for more extended periods.

  • My girls were two months early as well and didn't start sitting up unassisted until 9 months.
