I may have been over thinking it, it just felt weird that he was sitting and sleeping at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sitting-up-in-sleep#post-1248973 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 09:47:10 +0000 LemonLong 1248973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO used to do that, I think it's just a stage, she seemed to outgrow it within a couple weeks or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sitting-up-in-sleep#post-1248972 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 09:47:08 +0000 lolabee 1248972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice as I thought this was normal once they learned to sit up! My non sleeping LO does it at every wake up :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sitting-up-in-sleep#post-1248883 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 08:28:20 +0000 Aimed 1248883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: perhaps that's it, he's not really cruising or anything yet but I guess moving about more and becoming much more aware and interactive. These wake ups sit ups are just a bit unnerving! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sitting-up-in-sleep#post-1248626 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 23:14:52 +0000 MamaMoose 1248626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is he learning a new skill like cruising? That can make their sleep more interrupted because their little brains are learning and growing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sitting-up-in-sleep#post-1248618 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 23:07:25 +0000 Aimed 1248618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 10 month old LO is a decent sleeper ( thank you sleep gods!) and usually sleeps 7 pm until 6 am without any issues. However recently he wakes up every now and again crying, sitting up in the corner of his crib :( does anyone have any experience of this? I am just wondering why he wakes up sitting up and if it could be attributed to baby nightmares or something like that?<br /> He is usually good at self soothing but he may be teething at the moment. I guess I am just worried that something is wrong when he bolts upright crying :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-kid-wont-sit#post-704418 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 08:32:57 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 704418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: ha, whoops meant to mention! He will be 8 months on the 22nd of April. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-kid-wont-sit#post-704160 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 04:26:23 +0000 Penny Lane 704160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my dude didn't start sitting until after he crawled either. NBD :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-kid-wont-sit#post-704091 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 23:55:55 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 704091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is your LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-kid-wont-sit#post-704069 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 23:06:06 +0000 runsyellowlites 704069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>P didn't start really sitting until she started crawling and that wasn't until 8.5 months... I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-kid-wont-sit#post-704056 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:41:27 +0000 tequiero21 704056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son wouldn't sit up unassisted Neil like 8-9 months. Then all of a sudden, he crawled and then walked in a span of like 2-3 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-kid-wont-sit#post-704037 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:21:39 +0000 Giraffe 704037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't worry! He will get there. My LO had to totally figure out his crawl before he could be bothered. to try sitting at all, and even after he knew how to sit on his own it was a few weeks before he really saw that it could be fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-kid-wont-sit#post-704021 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:08:45 +0000 chopsuey 704021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! I have no idea when my DD started sitting on her own. It took a while though! She army crawled foreverrrrrr too. And didn't walk until she was 13+ months old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-kid-wont-sit#post-704011 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:00:14 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 704011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kid....he'll only sit for like, 4 or 5 minutes unassisted. He refuses to tripod, only sits no hands. He also HATES sitting. Unless there's a really awesome toy in front of him that he can grab at and play with. He also isn't making any move toward pulling himself into a sitting position. Right now he puts all of his energy into rolling across the room, occasionally scooting backwards, and trying to put together a crawl.</p> <p>I feel like there's always some "milestone" he is on the brink of being behind on. He was a late roller. He rolled belly to back at 4 months and back to belly at 5.5 months. But he didn't start rolling around the room until this month. I am encouraged because he seems to be putting together a crawl, but it is taking forever!</p> <p>I obsess so much. Two weeks ago it was consonants. He's ok with that now, but now I'm worried that he isn't waving or mimicking or recognizing his name (although we probably don't use it often enough, or wave often enough, or read books often enough, etc., etc.). I feel like playtime is just me running around trying to "test" all his milestones; it isn't even fun!</p> <p>Wow, this devolved into a completely different post from just sitting up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nap-time-and-sitting-up#post-560742 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 16:59:29 +0000 Weagle 560742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been dealing with this for about a month. She sits, stands, walks... Naps have been a nightmare, to say the least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nap-time-and-sitting-up#post-559850 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 10:17:04 +0000 mamimami 559850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: oh my gosh it just reminded me of when we were sleep training my son (for the second time) and when my husband went to check on him he was crying and holding his lovey (a dog) and crying "woof woof woof." It was awful an obviously he ended up in our bed that night haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nap-time-and-sitting-up#post-559835 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 10:11:30 +0000 littlek 559835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: It was sad, I only let him cry a few minutes, normally he will fuss a little and then fall asleep. But yesterday he got very upset and I knew once he sat up it was all over with so I got him and we just skipped his last nap and moved his bedtime up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nap-time-and-sitting-up#post-559829 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 10:07:14 +0000 mamimami 559829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only say that about comforting because I don't think I could take seeing my babe hit himself in the face with a lovey! That sounds really sad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nap-time-and-sitting-up#post-559826 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 10:06:09 +0000 mamimami 559826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For awhile my son would sit and cry at bedtime, and fall asleep slumped over. Fortunately it only lasted like a week. So if you plan not to comfort him I would just leave him until he's asleep and then lie him down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nap-time-and-sitting-up#post-559803 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 09:56:34 +0000 littlek 559803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has been struggling with naps for the past two weeks (I think its due to a wonder week). But the issue is that he now pulls himself up and sits and cries into the monitor and also slaps himself with his lovey during nap time. Do I just leave him or try and put him back on his back? I've started moving up his bedtime because he is no longer taking his 3rd nap, or if he does it's painfully short. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milestone-sitting-up#post-44000 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 10:09:18 +0000 T.H.O.U. 44000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its great to hear all these stories! I guess I'm not concerned that shes not sitting right now (heck she just rolled over last week), but I am worried that if we don't "practice" with her she will be delayed in meeting the milestone. </p> <p>@Andrea: @pelikila: A bouncer is a great idea, and our high chair does have a great recline as well (Peg Perego Diner). We will have to try that for eating. We are just trying to practice and play with food right now since I want to make sure I can still BF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milestone-sitting-up#post-43991 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 09:46:14 +0000 mrstilly 43991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 9 months. He's been able to sit on his own since about 6 months without falling over. He still can't get to a sitting position on his own. He hasn't really tried to pull up on anything to get to a sitting or standing position. He sits in the tub and to play now, but before that I just showered or took a bath with him. Also 4.5 months is still early for solids, so I wouldn't worry about that.<br /> They do things in their own time frame. My pediatrician hasn't had any concerns with DS growth and milestones and he's been a tad on the slow side for most of the physical ones (rolling, crawling, sitting). I'd check with your pediatrician if you are concerned though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milestone-sitting-up#post-43990 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 09:43:56 +0000 Rubies 43990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is almost 5 months old and she sits by herself for a few moments until she loses her balance and topples over. No worries - I've never known a kid who didn't know how to sit! ;) LO is still young - she'll go it when she wants! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milestone-sitting-up#post-43987 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 09:37:56 +0000 heffalump 43987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo is a little over 5 months and isn't sitting. She wants to and tries very hard, but just isn't there yet. She is still in the reclining thing in the tub. I wouldn't worry about it yet, your baby is still young. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milestone-sitting-up#post-43980 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 09:31:49 +0000 Mrs. Bee 43980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>charlie could stay in a sitting position around 6 months if we put him there, but he couldn't get to a sitting position on his own until he was 7 months. your lo is still very young so i wouldn't worry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milestone-sitting-up#post-43979 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 09:30:17 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 43979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She doesn't have reflux, does she? Baby Y was never much for sitting until right then, when he grew out of it. Until then, he looved standing all the time. </p> <p>But I agree - don't worry. Most babies meet some milestones at very different paces, and lots happens developmentally between 4 and 6 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milestone-sitting-up#post-43972 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 08:44:22 +0000 pelikila 43972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would put my son in a sit and he was able to support himself right at 6 months. He wasn't able to put himself into a sit until he was 9.5 months or so.</p> <p>In terms of feeding solids, does your highchair recline so it is more of an angle like a bouncer? That might be an option to try. Or use a bouncer if you have one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milestone-sitting-up#post-43964 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 08:31:52 +0000 Andrea 43964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does she like sitting in a bouncer? You could feed her there in the meantime instead of a high chair maybe?</p> <p>My LO was crawling before she wanted to sit up on her own! She just had no interest in doing so and it was after 6 months until she would sit on her own. But she was OK in the high chair before that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milestone-sitting-up#post-43959 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 08:26:31 +0000 chopsuey 43959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh. my LO used to ALWAYS arch her back too. Probably up until she was about 4 months old. But she grew out of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milestone-sitting-up#post-43958 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 08:25:19 +0000 chopsuey 43958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry about your LO meeting the sitting up milestone. We would sit our little one up on our laps, on the couch, etc. But she didn't start sitting up unassisted on her own til she was about 8 months old. Which is fine.<br /> I would just follow your LO's cues. You don't wanna rush her into anything. :) </p>
