My baby is 6m+5days old but cant fairly sit up yet. She kept leaning forward at a less than 45 degree position. Now can sit slightly more up. She has strong neck muscles and could lift up her head to turn left and right at 10 weeks old. I see other babies can at least sit upright after 5mo. Is there any issue with my baby?

I once had the same worry when my #1 couldn't sit up without help at 6 months plus. I wanted him to start solids but he couldn't sit, I had to place pillows on his sides as he was leaning. I placed him in a sitting position daily as practice. I held him supported n then let go..not got too long tho, just a few tries each time, slowly he could sit for a few seconds, then a few minutes..and gradually, he could sit longer n longer !! Remain positive and encouraging to your baby and one day she will get there!!! Jia you!!
