POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. It's perfectly normal for a 5-month, 25-day-old baby to not yet be sitting independently, as babies develop at their own pace. Most babies typically start sitting with support around 6 months and may begin sitting independently around 7 to 9 months. Your daughter might still be building the necessary muscle strength in her back, neck, and core to support sitting unaided.
To encourage sitting, you can try placing her on her tummy and supporting her in a sitting position, which helps her develop those muscles. Let her spend some supervised time on the floor to practice moving and strengthening her muscles. Always provide a safe, soft area for her to explore and develop her balance. If she is meeting other developmental milestones like holding her head steady, reaching for toys, or rolling over, there's usually no reason to worry. However, if you're concerned about her progress, it's a good idea to consult your pediatrician to rule out any potential issues.
