Summary:
- Babies typically start sitting up on their own around 4-6 months of age, though some may start as early as 3 months or as late as 7 months.
- Sitting up is an important developmental milestone that helps babies gain better control of their head and neck, and allows them to interact with their environment more.
- To help babies learn to sit up, parents can provide support with pillows or Boppy cushions, and encourage them to practice by placing toys just out of reach.
