ADVICE? My baby is almost 5 months and she has great tummy time and head control, she doesn’t sit up on her own yet, any advice to get her to want to sit up on her own??

Question

Answer

Totally normal that she’s not sitting up on her own if she’s not even 5 months yet! That would be pretty early for unassisted sitting! But you can definitely help her “practice”, we sit our baby girl in between our legs and help her sit, and we try to encourage her to lean forward and put her hands on the ground (instead of pushing herself backwards). Tummy time will definitely help to continue strengthening those muscles that she needs for sitting as well!

Answer

That normal. I was just looking back at pics of my first born and she didn’t sit unassisted until the end of 5 months and she did most things early.

Answer

Very normal, it’s to be expected around 6/7 months

Answer

Like others have said - completely normal and she will develop at her own pace!

Answer

It’ll probably happen closer to 6 months.

Answer

My LO is almost 4 months, so obviously not sitting on her own yet, but I'll prop her up sitting with the boppy and sit in front of her with toys to encourage her to lean forward and grab them.
