A. Don't worry. The baby is slightly preterm so there can be couple of weeks delay in reaching the milestones. Usually babies sit around four to seven months. By eight months most if 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 herself and it could differ with each baby. So keep encouraging her to sit by keeping pillows on her sides. She should be sitting soon. Likewise, Babies can start crawling anywhere between six to ten months. But some may skip crawling and straight away try to pull up and walk. You can encourage the baby to crawl by providing few minutes of tummy time for the baby everyday
