Sitting skills in babies usually develop between 4 and 7 months.
- Around 4-5 months: Babies can sit briefly with support (on your lap or in a bouncer), and head control becomes clearer.
- Around 6-7 months: Most babies can sit for a few seconds with hands propped forward (tripod position), offering themselves some stability.
- Around 8-9 months: Unsupported sitting usually becomes more stable; your baby can lean over to reach toys and maintain balance.
Every baby develops at their own pace. If your baby hasn't attempted sitting by 9 months or still has weak head control, it's worth checking in with your pediatrician.
