Maisie can sit if she's holding on to a finger. She's a crazy strong baby! Lala was definitely not doing that at that age! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-could-your-lo-sit-up#post-149399 Sat, 05 May 2012 20:56:47 +0000 SAHM0811 149399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both girls sat in the bumbo at around 3.5 months.... DD1 sat unassisted right around 6 months, DD2 slightly earlier at about 5.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-could-your-lo-sit-up#post-149370 Sat, 05 May 2012 20:23:55 +0000 prettylizy 149370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's just about 2 months but has awesome head control so she sits in it for a few minutes every day now. She loves being upright </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-could-your-lo-sit-up#post-149342 Sat, 05 May 2012 20:05:44 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 149342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put Maddox in the bumbo at 2 weeks just for a photo-op. He was so little that his head was supported by the back of the seat! He started sitting in occasionally around 2 months and it went on heavy rotation at 3 months. He loves it! We started using the Jumperoo at 2 months, but he didn't really get into until 3 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-could-your-lo-sit-up#post-149329 Sat, 05 May 2012 19:53:24 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 149329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He started sitting up briefly at 5 months and was pretty well able to do it like a pro by 6 months. No thanks to the Bumbo though ... he was too chubby for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-could-your-lo-sit-up#post-149324 Sat, 05 May 2012 19:45:30 +0000 cupcakemama 149324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unassisted at about 6 months. LO improved exponentially in a short period of time. I can't remember propped up and we don't have a bumbo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-could-your-lo-sit-up#post-149313 Sat, 05 May 2012 19:32:41 +0000 chopsuey 149313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think by 6 months lo was sitting up unassisted just for short periods of time. It wasn't until 7-8 months that she sat unassisted without toppling over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-could-your-lo-sit-up#post-149308 Sat, 05 May 2012 19:31:36 +0000 Rubies 149308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started putting LO in her Bumbo at 6 weeks for a few minutes at a time (her head was a smidge wobbly but had good neck control)...By 3.5 months she was sitting in it regularly, every day. She was able to sit unassisted at 5 months (but would topple over eventually). She was able to sit alone for long periods of time by 6 months.</p> <p>This might seem early but she didn't roll over until she was a good 7.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-could-your-lo-sit-up#post-149303 Sat, 05 May 2012 19:29:56 +0000 Andrea 149303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was 4 months because I remember that was the day the LO sat up and started climbing out of her bouncer so that was the end of that -- she could no longer be contained! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-could-your-lo-sit-up#post-149301 Sat, 05 May 2012 19:28:20 +0000 mrbee 149301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie could sit in a Bumbo at 3 or 4 months... meanwhile, Olive is 7.5 months (6.5 mos adjusted) and she still can't sit comfortably in a Bumbo! Part of it might be that Olive is skinnier and taller, and doesn't fill out the seat of the bumbo like her shorter/plumper brother haha! Still though... she's pretty old to not be sitting in a Bumbo.</p> <p>At what age could your LO sit propped up in something like a Bumbo? What about being able to sit up unassisted? </p>
