Sitting

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
When did your baby sit without support? My lil guy just turned 6m and I'm just wondering. When I put him in a sitting position he still falls on a side or just leans forward..

    You will probably get a huge range because it can vary for every baby and still be normal. My daughter was sitting at 4 months but still fell over sometimes. My sons were 5 months. My nieces and nephews ranged from 5-6 months to 7-8 months.

    Maybe around 6.5 months? Every once in awhile we used the bumbo for trunk support or we sat her on our laps.

    Our 8 month old sits without support.... except when she decides she wants to LEAN back randomly. So we still have the bobby behind her just in case

    DS was sitting independently at 6.5m.

    DD only did at around 8m. 

    Both still required a nursing pillow behind them for about 1.5m after because they would throw themselves back.

    DS is 6 months and is just now trying to sit by himself, he had no interest/ability until about a week ago.  If your LO isn't sitting reliably @ 9-10 months, there might be a red flag, but babies do what they want when they're ready.  Just because someone's baby was doing it at 4 months doesn't mean yours will.  Just encourage LO's independence and try not to stress so much.  They'll get there.

    My DD is turning 7 months tomorrow. She learned to sit unassisted last week. Meaning, if I sit her down, she can sit for a while - not get into a seating position by herself.

    My daughter started sitting unsupported just before she turned 6 months :) One of my friend's babies who was born in April has been sitting unsupported since she was 4 months. It all depends on the baby! :)

    So...9 days ago I posted that DS *just* started trying to sit and now he's sitting unsupported all the time.  It can change almost overnight.  Babies do what they want, when they want LOL.  Updates?
