POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. Yes, it is completely normal for some babies to stand before they sit independently. Every baby develops at their own pace. Since your 9-month, 7-day-old baby is already pulling up to stand with support, it means her leg muscles are strong. Some babies skip sitting independently and directly focus on standing and walking.
To help her sit, you can:
Encourage floor play with toys to strengthen core muscles. Sit her with support (like pillows or your lap) to practice balance. Limit standing time so she can also focus on sitting skills.
If she continues to avoid sitting or shows stiffness or weakness in legs, consult a pediatrician for guidance. But overall, this seems like a positive developmental step!
