My baby sits propped forward on their hands like a tripod. When will they let go of their hands and sit upright without support?

Sitting with hand support forward (tripod sitting) is a good milestone. Usually babies move from this to a few seconds of unsupported upright sitting within the next 4-6 weeks, so around 6-8 months old. Over time, as balance muscles strengthen, the duration gets longer — by 8-9 months most babies can sit comfortably unsupported while playing. Every baby's pace is different; by the end of month 9, unsupported sitting is an expected skill.
