POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. At 7 months and 8 days old, it's common for babies to still be developing their motor skills, including sitting up independently. Here’s what you can consider:
1. **Developmental Milestones**: Babies typically start sitting up with support around 4-6 months and can sit independently by 6-8 months. However, there is variability in the timing of these milestones.
2. **Encouraging Sitting**: Provide plenty of tummy time and opportunities for your baby to practice sitting with support. Use pillows or rolled towels to help them gain strength and balance.
3. **Consult a Pediatrician**: If your baby is not showing any progress in sitting up by 8 months, it’s a good idea to discuss this with your pediatrician. They can assess your baby’s overall development and determine if any additional evaluation or intervention is needed.
4. **Monitor Other Skills**: Consider how your baby is progressing in other areas, such as rolling over, reaching for objects, or bearing weight on their legs. Delays in one area may sometimes be associated with delays in others.
5. **Early Intervention**: If there are concerns about development, early intervention services can be beneficial. A pediatrician can guide you on the appropriate steps and resources available.
Most importantly, each baby develops at their own pace, so while monitoring progress is important, it’s also essential to support and encourage your baby in their developmental journey.
