Can a 4-month-old baby sit in a high chair?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

A 4-month-old baby is typically not ready to sit in a high chair. Babies need full head and neck control and must be able to sit unsupported for short periods to safely use a high chair; these skills usually develop around 6 months. A 4-month-old doesn't yet have this level of muscle control. Sitting them in a high chair too early increases fall risk and isn't appropriate for spinal development. The current pediatric recommendation is that babies start using high chairs at the earliest around 6 months, when they transition to solid foods. Until then, a safe bouncer or baby seat is the better choice.
