LO is 5 months, but won't do the tripod. She won't sit still long enough! How do I get her to practice this? If it makes a difference, she is very strong and can sit up for a few seconds if she has something around her (pillows, Boppy, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-unassisted#post-342338 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 09:12:18 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 342338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chloe was around 5 months when she could sit unassisted for a short period of time, but closer to 6-7 months when she could get herself in a sitting position and stay there herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-unassisted#post-342327 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 09:08:32 +0000 Mrs. Bee 342327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>charlie could sit completely unassisted (no tripod) at 7 months. olive was older... maybe 9 months, but she was born 5 weeks early and has been a little behind with physical milestones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-unassisted#post-342289 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 08:56:07 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 342289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we're at 4.5 months and are on the brink, doing the tripod thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-unassisted#post-342280 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 08:53:36 +0000 Sammyfab 342280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 5 months he was sitting in a tripod for about 10 seconds at a time. At 5.5 months he could sit for over a minute. Then at 6 months it was 10-15 minutes totally unassisted. Now at 7.5 months he can sit for 30+ minutes at a time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-unassisted#post-342222 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 08:25:01 +0000 loveisstrange 342222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um 5-5.5 months? Right around there. She is 6.5 months and can sit without tripoding now and for long periods of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-unassisted#post-342220 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 08:24:52 +0000 winniebee 342220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around 6 months sounds just about right. My LO is 5 months and sits tripod for awhile and can sit hands free for a few seconds before toppling over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-unassisted#post-342213 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 08:23:13 +0000 lavender 342213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did your LO start sitting unassisted? I read around 6 mths is average. My lo can sit like a tripod and can sit unassisted for a couple of seconds before she topples over. </p>
