POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month2 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.

This is called the gastrocolic reflex, a natural response where the stomach sends signals to the intestines to move when it gets filled, which causes the baby to poop after feeding.
However, watch for the following signs:
Very loose or watery stools (might be diarrhea), Frequent pooping with discomfort or gas, Signs of milk intolerance or allergy (like mucus or blood in stool, rashes, vomiting, or excessive crying).
If your baby is gaining weight well, active, and otherwise happy, it's usually nothing to worry about. But if you see any of the above warning signs or if it happens too frequently with discomfort, it’s best to consult your pediatrician.
