She can sit for quite a while, but still topples over sometimes at 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-wo-assistance#post-2287734 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 14:24:18 +0000 Ms.Badger 2287734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Herrade: This is exactly how my baby was, but rolled no problem right before 4 months and he's sitting short periods by himself (30 sec - 3 min) at about 4.5 months. He still "crunches" if reclined like in bouncer or car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-wo-assistance#post-2287705 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 13:58:53 +0000 Herrade 2287705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3.5 month old *only* wants to sit. She shows no interest in rolling over, and when on her back she frequently tries to stomach crunch her way to sitting... and gets sooo frustrated. She can't sit unassisted yet, but it feels like she'll end up doing that before rolling over! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-wo-assistance#post-2287627 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 13:06:50 +0000 Mae 2287627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I sat her up, she could sit up by herself at about 6.5 or 7 months. But she didn't last too long (a few minutes) before face planting. She could sit herself up and then was a rock star at sitting at 7.5 mo-- christmas day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-wo-assistance#post-2287621 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 13:01:42 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 2287621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for A it was 9 months (7 months corrected age) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-wo-assistance#post-2287616 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 13:00:11 +0000 lovehoneybee 2287616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: @LuLu Mom: Haha yeah that "magical phase" lasted literally about 4 minutes for us...he sat up, looked very proud of himself for a few minutes, then proceeded to crawl over to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-wo-assistance#post-2287607 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 12:55:03 +0000 californiadreams 2287607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6.5 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-wo-assistance#post-2287599 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 12:52:10 +0000 winniebee 2287599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6.5 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-wo-assistance#post-2287563 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 12:33:44 +0000 jhd 2287563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-wo-assistance#post-2287554 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 12:25:45 +0000 Miss Ariel 2287554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 8 months. She started crawling and pulling up before then. Whenever we tried to get her to sit she always leaned forward to move towards something instead of sitting up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-wo-assistance#post-2287510 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 11:55:32 +0000 snowjewelz 2287510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Def by 6 mo!

She got in to the sitting position from the crawl position. Around 7 months I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-wo-assistance#post-2287441 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 11:27:28 +0000 LuLu Mom 2287441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: she's already trying to crawl, she's rocking back and forth and getting so frustrated!

I know DD1 it was closer to 7 months, DD2 is almost 6 months and shows no signs of wanting to sit, she wants to lay/roll or stand/jump (with assistance obviously!) I'm wondering when she will show interest in working those abs :) </p>
