POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. Thank you for sharing. Based on what you’ve said — your 11-month-old daughter is able to roll over and hold her head steady, but is not yet able to sit — this could be a sign of developmental delay, especially in gross motor skills.
🚩 What This Might Mean:
By 11 months, most babies are able to:
Sit independently for several minutes Crawl or move around Pull to stand (some even cruise or take steps)
If your baby still cannot sit without support, it's important to consult a pediatrician or pediatric neurologist. Early assessment helps in:
Ruling out any underlying muscle weakness, tone issues, or neurological concerns Starting early intervention therapy (like physiotherapy or occupational therapy), if needed ✅ What You Can Do at Home:
While waiting for a check-up:
Give daily tummy time to strengthen neck, shoulder, and back muscles Avoid prolonged use of walkers, swings, or bouncers Encourage her to reach for toys while lying or in supported sitting position
You're right to be concerned. Early support makes a big difference in helping babies catch up. Would you like help with questions to ask the doctor or exercises to try at home?
