At what age was your child able to get into a sitting position on their own?

Question

Did that come before or after crawling? When was your child able to push themselves into a crawling position?
*I don't mean when could they sit unassisted, I mean when could they put themselves in a sitting position.

Answer

My son has been army crawling/scooting around since 5 months, and started getting on his hands and knees at 5.5 months. He is fast and can get wherever he wants. But he is now 8.5 months and still doesn’t crawl on his hands and knees. And he doesn’t get into a sitting position yet.

Answer

My son, who is tall, did not get into a seated position by himself until after 8 months. He crawled around same time. Took steps at 11 months and walked well at 12 months

Answer

My girls sat up before crawling my son was crawling but couldn’t sit completely and would lean. It was weird.

Answer

She learned to do that last month at a few days shy of 6 months. She started crawling a few weeks before that so was crawling first

Answer

8w with a hoppy 10-12w 100% unsupported. Could stand at 5 months and didn’t crawl until 9 months but took his first steps at 7 months

Answer

He was able to sit 3 months before he could crawl

Answer

5 months unassisted. My son crawled on his own at 6 months. So somewhere between 5-6 months my son was able to switch positions freely. Every child is different and some don’t sit up until after 6 months.
