Is my baby normal?

Question

My daughter is 6 months 13 days and she still doesn't sit I have to be holding her. Also i trie to stand her up and she put her feet up or she only last like 20 seconds and her legs fold. I would like to know if that's normal or not ?

Answer

Totally normal. “Can baby sit unassisted” is one of the things they ask at 6 month visit, but a baby wouldn’t be “delayed” until they weren’t meeting those milestones at the next appointment at 9mos. All babies learn things on a spectrum, some early and some later and often a baby who is slower to get teeth, or sit, or crawl will be quicker to language (they say physical and mental development compete in the early years so when a baby surges in physical milestones their behavioral/language skills may suffer temporarily and vice versa.— see also: why kids are often grumpy or misbehave during growth spurts!) 
Try not to compare milestones, weight, height, etc... it’s almost certainly ALL normal but the culture of competition can be super damaging to moms who’s kids are not quick to new skills. Is your baby happy? Bonded? Making progress from where she was last week? Then you’re doing a great job and she’s okay 💗

Answer

Standing tends come later than sitting unaided. Plenty of time still fir both milestones! My first baby sat with 7/8m and stood with 11m.

Answer

My baby is 6 Months and 5 days and she doesn't sit unsupported for longer than 10 seconds. She also only rolls from back to front but not the other way (she has done it a handful of times, she just wont do it anymore) she will stand for all of 20seconds before going to her knees. I'm not too worried. She seems to not do things then all of a sudden do a million things at once. She will catch up.

Answer

Yes normal mine is older and is about the same. She will get it when she is ready.
