How old is your baby @Alexis
@Skylar thanks! And good to know you’re also in the same boat. He’s almost 5 months old so I was just curious if anyone was also going through the experience. Just started to help him with assistance.
@Ariel my son is 4 1/2 years old, almost 5 months in a week
My LO turned five months last week and we have been practice sitting since four months he can kinda sit for a little bit unassisted I would deff start practicing it’s not too early
Yup almost 5 months and all he wants to do is crunches to sit up. I place toys in front of him so he can practice and I sit around the back of him in case he falls over. Every day he builds more and more muscle to sit up solo for more than 10 seconds!
@sarah thanks Sarah! That’s good to know!! How many times a day do you practice? For rolling we do about 2-3 times a day. I work at home too so it’s just finding the time.
@Dayna that’s amazing! Thanks for the reassurance as well! How many times a day do you practice? And for how long?
@Alexis about the same as tummy time 2-3 a day or so I don’t keep track much just whenever I can sit behind him while he’s playing for about 10mins or so he usually goes between that and his belly.Sometimes on the couch I’ll prop him up while we watch tv for a little bit or on the bed where if he falls over he’s not gonna hurt anything.
@Alexis whenever I can and he wants. Usually 10x a day 😆 his sister tries to murder him if he’s on the floor doing tummy time so it’s the wrap or sitting!
@Dayna hey girly congrats on your boy such a cutie! We’ve come so far from the tbell days 👏
Mine sits up and he’s 5.5 months! Definitely normal
@sarah oh hey!!! Yes so far! Now we just eat it all the time 😂😂 we should catch up one day with our cuties!!
@Dayna yes that would be fun! Boys are wild haha they can burn some energy. 😊
Yes he’s 6/22 and can sit unassisted in our laps and also on floor he leans over on his hands. He also rolls from back to belly as soon as you put him on the floor now. My daughter was not nearly this active or mobile

@Sydney 6/22??
Mine has been sitting assisted since 3 months old. He’s been expressing wanting to sit since 4 months and now at 5 he’s almost tripod sitting. He’ll hold on to something and push his chin forward and lift his legs straight up in the air while tightening his core, so if we rock him on his booty he’s basically sitting. If he sits for too long on his own though he has some spit up, not so much when he’s supported by a high chair or boppy or one of us. Just assist your baby in whatever they need help with, they’ll show you what they know 🩵
@Ariel yes he was born on June 22
My babe is still trying to roll back to tummy. But is CONSTANTLY trying to sit forward on our laps. We’ve been sitting her up but with assistance! I feel like if babe is ready, then slowly starting it won’t hurt! My babe is just over 5 months tho!
