Of course, the birth of a baby is the most anticipated and joyful event in the family. The mother worries about her child and closely follows the baby at all stages of development. She is excited about new skills of the crumbs, for example, such as the ability to crawl or sit.
How many months do babies begin to sit down?
Babies are completely different, some develop at an accelerated pace, while other babies develop a little more slowly, so it is difficult to talk about a specific age when a child begins to do something on his own. But, of course, approximate time values take place. In more detail, you need to consider the period when children learn to sit down on their own, since you cannot sit down the baby ahead of time, because by actions that are unnatural for the baby, you can harm your child's health.
Normally, the baby should sit down by the sixth month of his life.
Potential concerns
Since the infant's motor function increases by the sixth month of his life, during this period of time he begins to roll over from his back to his stomach and back on his own, learns to crawl and sit down.
Experts believe that boys can be seated a little earlier than girls. Before you teach the girl to sit down, you need to wait a little in order to avoid the likelihood of bending the uterus. When starting to sit down for the first time, do it not on the floor, but on a softer surface, for example, you can position the child in your lap or on a chair, gently supporting him. Do these exercises more often, because only then will the muscles gradually begin to get used to this position.
Of course, you should not force the child to sit, usually the kids make it clear to their mother that they are already pretty fed up with lying, and they begin to try to get up. Children gradually learn to sit down.
Most often they do this through the side, helping themselves with their hand.
Very often there are cases when the baby manages to sit down on his own, at a time when he himself did not even expect this. At such a moment, children may cry, frightened by a new situation and a new position. Much less often, it happens that the baby does not independently make attempts to learn to sit.
In any case, the age at which the baby can sit down on its own depends on the development of the muscles. Don't worry if your baby hasn't learned to sit independently and confidently by six months. Nature itself will tell you when the time is right. The only cause for concern may be the fact that at six months the baby cannot hold his head confidently and does not try to raise himself on his hands. The moment the baby shows interest and begins to make attempts to sit down, you need to take care and arrange a safe place for this, for example, fence it with pillows. But this does not mean that you should cushion your child with pillows. such actions have a bad effect on the spine, which the baby must learn to hold on his own.
