What is the oldest/latest age a baby can learn how to sit up?

Question

well my baby is about 7 months and he still isn't able to sit up by himself. I know it takes patience but i'm just wondering what the oldest/latest age range a baby can be when he/she learns how to sit up.

Answer 1

I know a few people whos babies did not sit up until about 8-9 months old.  Just give it some time, it will happen.

Answer 2

My son was six months when he started to sort of be able to sit.  At about seven months, he solidified in his skills.  Does he have a "boppy seat?"  This helped my baby... Practicing isn't a bad idea, either.  More open play time will also help.  Don't worry, though.  I think that by the end of the eighth month is when I would get concerned.

Answer 3

The typical age is around 3-6 months. Some babies work slower though. If you are worried I would ask your doctor at 9 months if he still isn't..  

Is he reaching other milestones? trying to crawl or anything?

Answer 4

i learned at about 6 months then again at 14 months, I had meningitis so i basically had to relearn everything lol.
