Parents pay close attention to the growth and development of infants from the first month, as they undergo new changes every other month. When do babies start learning to sit?
Generally speaking, babies between six months and six and a half months old will begin to learn independent sitting posture, but if they fall, they will not be able to regain their sitting posture. You can sit well without any assistance until you are eight to nine months old. For infants, infant sitting is very important, as it not only helps the infant's spine form a second physiological curvature, namely chest protrusion, which plays an important role in maintaining body balance, but also allows them to touch many things that they used to be unable to touch, which is of great significance for the development of sensation and perception. Babies are able to sit steadily, which means that their bone, nervous system, and muscle coordination abilities are gradually maturing. Of course, at this point, the baby's strength development is gradually stabilizing.
How to scientifically train a baby to sit up?
1. Let the baby lie on the bed. The mother held the baby's armpits with both hands, gently pulled the baby up and down, and after multiple exercises, the parents only needed a little strength to help and gradually reduced the strength, allowing the baby to sit up on its own with the help of the mother's strength.
2. At 5 months old, parents can place their baby on a sofa or a small chair with armrests and let him sit down to play, to practice sitting posture. Afterwards, you can gradually reduce the things behind him, so that the baby can sit or sit alone for a while with just a little support. Generally speaking, at around 6 months old, babies can start sitting alone. At the beginning of sitting alone, the baby may have poor coordination and lean forward. At this point, the sitting time should not be too long. Slowly extend the sitting time each time until he can sit steadily.
