A. You can make him sit fir one to two minutes or according to comfort if the baby. Sitting, the infant learns to control his body in the sitting position from the age of five months onwards. Initially make your child sit with pillow support and gradually the baby will gain control over the body and starts sitting independently by the age of 8 months and sit steady keeping back straight. By the age of 10 months, the baby can pull himself up from the supine position to sitting position .

A. Usually babies sit around four to seven months. By eight months most if them would be able to sit without support for few minutes. But this is not a definite rule and some babies can have a delay in reaching milestone. This doesn't necessarily mean any problem. Your baby should get her muscles strong enough to balance herself and it could differ with each baby. So keep encouraging her to sit by keeping pillows on her sides. She should be sitting soon.
