Babies typically start supported sitting between 4-6 months and learn unsupported sitting between 6-8 months. For sitting support, the safest option is soft pillows that help your baby keep their back straight without forcing them, or a nursing pillow. You can surround your baby with pillows to support their back, but if they can't hold their head steady yet, floor tummy time is better than a sitting support. Signs your baby's ready for sitting support: holding their head steady and firm, pushing up with their arms during tummy time, and staying upright for a while when propped. Sitting supports like Bumbo-type hard seats are generally not recommended by experts because they can prevent your baby from using their own balancing muscles. The most natural and safe way is to let your baby learn to sit on their own schedule, using their own muscle control.
