Watching your little one grow is an amazing journey! One of the exciting milestones is when they start sitting up. But when exactly does this happen?
Generally, babies begin developing the neck and core strength needed for sitting between 4 and 7 months. Initially, they'll need support – think pillows or your helping hands. This assisted sitting helps them build crucial muscles.
Around 6-8 months, most babies can sit independently for short periods. Don't be surprised by a few topples – that's part of the learning process! Ensure a safe environment with soft surfaces and remove any potential hazards.
Remember, every baby develops at their own pace. If you have any concerns about your baby's development, always consult your pediatrician. Happy sitting!
