Can your baby get into a sitting position by themselves?

Question

My little girl cannot get into a sitting position by herself. Once I put her in the seated position she’s as happy as can be and can support herself but if she falls forward or backward she can’t sit up. Is this normal for 8 month old? (I’m a FTM)

Answer

Babies all take their time and go at their own pace. My daughter (2 yrs now) didn’t sit well til nearly 9 months. Didn’t crawl til 9-10 months. Didn’t walk til 15 months. My son (8.5 mos old) sat at 6 mos. has been trying to crawl for several weeks now. And prob will walk before my daughter did. Each child is unique just like each adult. Don’t stress the “milestones” and just enjoy the day to day.

Answer
