Make sure to practice on flat, hard surfaces like hardwood, tile floor, foam mat, or carpet. Flat surfaces provide your baby with the support and stability that he needs to sit up independently. At this point they may even be able to get into a sitting position from lying on their tummy, by pushing up on their arms. By the time they’re eight months old, they’ll likely be able to sit well without support (ACECQA nd, Sharma A 2021). Once my baby can sit, when will they start crawling?Once your baby works out how to lunge forward from sitting and balance on their hands and knees, they’ll be almost ready to crawl.

While most baby baths are built with safety in mind, keep an eye out for a built-in thermometer to ensure the water is the right temperature, non-slip elements to prevent your little one from capsizing in the tub, and smooth edges that won't hurt tiny hands (and yours too!). Baby bath seat safety tips So, how do you choose the best baby bath seat? 'Make sure it's suitable for your baby’s age and weight,' advises Jumaimah Hussain, parenting expert at Kiddies Kingdom. 'And ensure it has sturdy surface attachments, good quality suction cups and a strap or safety bar in the middle to prevent slipping and sliding in the bath.' Tripod Sitting is the term used for a baby who is sitting, but uses his arms as the tripod, the third “leg of the stool” to keep his body upright. Sit with your baby on a carpet or foam play mat and help position his legs with his knees pointing out toward the sides, and his feet several inches apart. Tripod sitting is also called “ring sitting” because the legs form an open ring position. This position gives him a wider base of support for more stability. Help him position his arms within the “ring” of his legs in the front, so he’s leaning slightly forward propped up on his hands.Be it rolling, reaching for a toy, smiling, turning his head on your voice, or sitting up, every developmental milestone is precious to us parents and holds a special place in our hearts. Make sure the area where you are going to practice sitting up with them has a softer floor and avoid practicing on a bed unless you will be holding onto them the entire time. 1.
