Question

my baby is almost 8 months old she has started to crawl but isn't sitting up yet she was born 8 weeks early so i know i am not suppose to expect it yet but aren't babies suppose to sit up before they crawl should i be worried she is doing well in everything else just wondering when she will sit up or how i can help her learn to sit up any support will help

Answer 1

invest in a 'bumbo' they strengthen the back for sitting but id get it second hand as she wont use it for long. it is not unusual for babies to crawl before sitting.don't panic!!!

Answer 2

My daughter was the same way. She didn't actually start sitting up until she started crawling. She will learn at her own pace. Don't worry because it will happen. Their is nothing wrong with it at all.

Answer 3

well when babies first start sitting unaided mother's put them in a tripod position. sit your baby up with her hands touching the floor and she might be able to do that for a little while. she'll eventually start letting go of the floor and just sit there happy and content! hope i helped

Answer 4

Babies do different things at different levels.  As you say its probably because she was born early.

My little girl is 7 months, sits up unaided, almost crawls but can pull herself up in her cot to her feet to hold onto the rails and also on the furniture.  You could buy one of those A shaped cushions that she can be propped up in front of for fear that she could fall backwards or sideways!
