When are babies usually able to sit up by themselves?

Most babies are able to sit up by themselves between 4 and 7 months old.

However, there's a wide range of normal development. Some babies might achieve this milestone earlier, around 3 months, while others may take a bit longer, up to 9 months.

Here's a breakdown:

* Around 4 months: Babies start to be able to hold their head up and sit with support.

* Around 6 months: Most babies can sit with support for a longer time and may even be able to sit up briefly without support.

* Around 7 months: Most babies can sit up by themselves for short periods.

* Around 8-9 months: Most babies can sit up independently for longer periods and can easily turn their body while sitting.

Important notes:

* Every baby develops at their own pace. Don't compare your baby to other babies. If you're concerned, talk to your pediatrician.

* Don't rush your baby. Don't force them to sit up before they're ready. This could delay their development.

* Provide a safe environment. Always supervise your baby when they are sitting up.

If you have any concerns about your baby's development, consult with their pediatrician. They can provide personalized advice and help you determine if there are any developmental delays.
