POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due this month3 months agoA. Since your baby boy was born at 36 weeks (a late preterm baby) with a birth weight of 2.365 kg, it's not unusual for some developmental milestones like sitting to be slightly delayed. At 9 months, many babies do sit with support or independently, but preterm babies often reach milestones based on their corrected age — in your case, around 7.5 months.
Here’s what you can do:
Give him tummy time daily to strengthen back and neck muscles. Help him sit with support using pillows or your lap. Encourage play with toys in sitting position to build balance.
However, if he shows no attempt to sit or has poor head control, it’s a good idea to consult your pediatrician or a child physiotherapist to assess his development and guide you with early intervention exercises if needed.
