When is a baby suppose to sit on their own? - Kacie - 11-09-2012 07:57 PM

My baby is 4 mo and she hasn't sat up, only rolled over a few times...i have seen other babies on Facebook close to my daughters age sitting up already..

How old are you? You seem very young.

Every child is different, i say around 6 to 7 months.

most babies about 6 months average (somtimes up to 8 months without support) , somtimes sooner or sometimes later depending on the babies progress. My son didnt sit up unaided until over 6 months i wouldnt worry about it too much below is an info link
Good Luck

each baby is different and as easy as it is to compare babies you shouldnt do

for example by nephew is 13 days old than my daughter. he can crawl really fast but has no teeth, yet my daughter cant crawl but has 5 teeth....

they will do everything when they are ready

My daughter sat up at 5 months without support, but they say between 6-8 months is normal. You can't really go by milestones, they are just a guide. Every child develops differently and at their own pace.

All babies are different, but it is at about 6 months. You can do exercises with her to help her develop these muscles. My 4 month olds can sit supported and can sit on their own for about a minute and then get wobbly. It will come.

Sitting was a huge concern for me with my son. He didn't start sitting unassisted until he was 8 months plus. I figured out it wasn't that he couldn't do it, he just didn't want to. He had better things to do and other ways to get around or get what he wanted. It was a growing concern for me and then one day he just did it whenever he pleased, like he always knew how. It was weird. So you really can't become concerned. If you ever do, talk to your doctor, it can never hurt to ask. But, it is really hard to say ALL babies walk at this age, or crawl at that age. ALL BABIES ARE 100% DIFFERENT. Daryn was so late for sitting, but he's walking and he just had his birthday a few days ago. He could crawl at 4 months, too. So, it really depends. But if you do want your baby to learn to do something, you need to work at it as much as possible, without making it a headache for both you, and her. Hope that helps.
