My LO looooves to sit up with help but does not seem to be making much progress toward doing it on his own. We practice balance and strength by holding gently under the arms or just guiding his shoulders or holding his hands. I’ve even tried to show him he can support his torso with his hands on his legs or floor, but it doesn’t seem to be clicking.

I don’t want to rush him but he is getting increasingly bored on his back and it’s obvious he would enjoy the freedom of sitting up to play.

What are you mamas doing to help your LO along, or did they just find themselves able to sit one day?
