A. If your 13-month-old preterm baby is not sitting independently, it’s important to consult a pediatrician or a child development specialist. Preterm infants may reach developmental milestones later than full-term babies, but by this age, most should be able to sit without support. Engage her in tummy time and encourage her to play with toys while seated to strengthen her core muscles. You can also provide support by placing cushions around her while she practices sitting. However, it’s crucial to seek professional advice to rule out any underlying issues and to get personalized strategies to help her develop this skill. Early intervention can be very beneficial for her overall development.
