From lying down to sitting?

penguin77 · Jan 7th, 2010, 07:13 AM

Hi Ladies...

Can anyone tell me when babies should be able to go from lying down to a sitting position by themselves?

Jac is over 8 months old and has been sitting unaided since 6 months....so i thought maybe he should be doing this now...i cant find anything on the net to say approx when.

Thanks

Phoebe has just started to do it and she is 9 1/2 months. She was sitting unaided at 6 months.

Lindsey is 9 months and she def can't do that yet - she's trying hard though!

Thanks for all your replies

I wasn't really worried just curious and expected him to be able to really. Like some of you have mentioned.....he can go from sitting to lying no probs...and tries to get up from lying but not quite there yet.

Freya can do it going from her front, up onto her knees then sits back, yeah every time I put her in her cot now she just sits right up

It's cute but annoying!

She has been doing it about a week, and has been sitting unaided since about 4.5 months, confidently from 6 months.

She can't do it from a lying on her back position and going straight up though, if that's what you mean. If she is on her back she just rolls over and goes up that way.
