A. Your 4.5-month-old baby's development sounds normal for his age. At this stage: ✅ It’s normal for babies to wobble while trying to sit or stand with support because their muscles are still developing. ✅ Sitting with support (like a pillow) is a good sign of strength and balance development. ✅ Most babies start sitting independently between 6-7 months and standing with support around 8-9 months. How to Help Your Baby Develop Strength: Give him tummy time daily to strengthen his back and neck muscles. Encourage him to play in a supported sitting position. Allow him to kick and move freely to develop leg strength. You can gently hold him in a standing position for short periods to improve balance. 🚨 When to Be Concerned: If he cannot hold his head steady by 5-6 months. If he seems very floppy or stiff. If he shows no interest in movement or interaction. For now, your baby's development seems on track, but keep encouraging movement through play. Let me know if you have more concerns!
