A. Usually babies sit around four to seven months. By eight months most of them would be able to sit without support for few minutes. But this is not a definite rule and some babies can have a delay in reaching milestone. This doesn't necessarily mean any problem. Your baby should get her muscles strong enough to balance himself and it could differ with each baby. So keep encouraging him to sit by keeping pillows on his sides. He should be sitting soon. Also 7 to 10.5 kg is the average weight range for this age group. As long as the baby is taking feeds and eating properly, poops and pees regularly and is active and healthy u need not worry much about the weight. Keep feeding the baby a balanced and healthy diet.
