Question: Hi doctor a child of 5 months old on few occasions she seats on her own for about a minute but in most cases she needs to be supported to seat Sometimes about two times a day we make her to seat in a big bowl and put clothes around her to keep her tight and in a seating position for about 30 to 40 minutes Is there need to continue this And what will you advise to parents like us to help their child to be able to seat on her own
Answer: Hi Joe
I see that you are eager for your child to start doing different things and show signs that you expect Do understand that no 2 infants are the same and they achieve these milestones at different times At 5 months its not abnormal for your baby not to be able to sit unsupported so I dont think you have to worry about anything being wrong at this stage We expect that most babies will be able to do this by the end of 7 months 
Wish you the best Cheers
