Babies sitting up un supported

oOKayOo · Nov 22nd, 2008, 15:56 PM

It seems alot of your LOs are crawling and sitting up unaided.

Ella isnt yet , she can sit up but wont be long till she flops to one side, she has been trying to crawl for over 3 weeks but just rocking back and forth like a mad woman

But im alittle worried with her ability to be able to sit on her own? She is 7 months , im sure she should be able to do it? I know every baby does things in there own time and at different ages , im just alittle concerned and wondered if its 'ok' for her not to be able to sit Yet ?

I ask this because i have a 'development' test in two weeks.

Hi hun,
Lily was born same day as Ella and is literally just started being able to do this in the last week. A month or so ago the HV said dont worry as long as they do it before 8-9 months, some babies just take a bit longer. Im sure ella will be crawling a walking within a few months!

Dec didnt sit by himself until 7.5 months, he was crawling before he could sit. My little nephew didnt sit on his own until 10 months!!! Dont worry hun as long as she is doing it by 10 months she will be fine. Wait and see now that you have posted this she will do it !!!

Grace can sit herself up because she's really strong and if she's lying on my knee she pulls herself up with my fingers to sit up. But if I sit her against the back of the couch it doesn't take long for her to fall to the side :s

Caitlyn has been sitting by herself for a little while. She hurts herself when she wants something behind her because she twists and falls!

I wouldn't say she was completely unsupported yet. She has the odd fall

i'm sure little ella will do it when she's ready, she developing wonderfully honey and you're doing a great job, i really worried as maddi's head was unstable for ages (seemed to go backwards from birth

) but i try not to worry now, just no they all get there in their own time
