#asktheexpert when babies are sitting without support?

A. Babies typically start sitting without support between 6 to 8 months of age. However, this can vary from baby to baby. Here's a general timeline: 4-5 months: Babies may start sitting with support, like using pillows or propping themselves up with their hands. 6-7 months: Many babies can sit momentarily without support but may still topple over. 8-9 months: Most babies can sit steadily without support and use their hands to reach for toys. If your baby is not sitting independently by 9 months, it’s a good idea to consult a pediatrician to check their muscle development and motor skills. Does your little one seem interested in sitting up?
