A. it's fine give plenty of playtime on the mat. maintain hydration and nutritious diet. give Sunlight exposure daily. make sure baby is eating well baby will sit by 7 to 9 months then will try to move by some means. Crawling methods also may differ.

A. Hello,as your baby born in thirty four weeks and he or she is now right months old,baby should sit without sleep as preterm babies are not weak and they may have low weight but it's nothing to do with achieving milestone according to their age,so wait for some time and then also you see baby is slow according to age then consult doctor.
