Sitting up without support

When does your baby start sitting up without support? My LO is 6m old and still requires me to support her when sitting. She gets a little wobbly and can't really balance herself yet. She has yet to flip from her belly to her back. I am worried that her development is delayed. :( #1stimemom #firstbaby #advicepls

Hi there, your baby may need up to 9 months to be able to sit unsupported. Rolling over on the other hand, you will need to give her more tummy time to practice and build those muscles. Don’t worry, she will get there. If you’re worried, take her to a pd to be assessed.

She has finally managed to flip both sides and also from belly to back (not very spontaneously and depends on her mood)! Yes giving her tons of tummy time everyday and she's also assessed by a PD in KK every 1-2 months to monitor her progress. PD says she's doing well but I guess I just felt the pressure from her being slower than other babies. Thank you for the helpful advice!
