I think around 6 months.

You'll know! ( It was close to their 6 month birthday, and my cue to start BLW.) :) daniellemybelle on "When did you "count" the sitting milestone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-count-the-sitting-milestone#post-1547983 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 11:22:12 +0000 daniellemybelle 1547983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Grace: I think I have decided that when she can sit for a full minute I will put it in the baby book, haha!

She can go up to 10 seconds or so without wobbling. The baby book I have is like a calendar with stickers, so I have to pick a day when she achieves milestones! jetsa on "When did you "count" the sitting milestone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-count-the-sitting-milestone#post-1547803 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 08:47:59 +0000 jetsa 1547803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm going to count it when I'm confident he's not going to fall over. 6.5 months and not there yet Grace on "When did you "count" the sitting milestone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-count-the-sitting-milestone#post-1547763 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 08:27:09 +0000 Grace 1547763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I counted it when I could take my hands away for a few seconds. wonderstruck on "When did you "count" the sitting milestone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-count-the-sitting-milestone#post-1547756 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 08:23:03 +0000 wonderstruck 1547756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @dreamocracy: Ha, I agree that's a pretty good way of determining it! If you feel secure leaving them sitting there without a pillow or you there to catch them. fairy on "When did you "count" the sitting milestone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-count-the-sitting-milestone#post-1547594 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 02:39:32 +0000 fairy 1547594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When I didn't have to put a pillow behind her for fear of her falling back haha, just about 6 months lovehoneybee on "When did you "count" the sitting milestone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-count-the-sitting-milestone#post-1546783 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 14:40:29 +0000 lovehoneybee 1546783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We personally considered it sitting straight up, unassisted (no hands or leaning). 6.5 months or so for us? Happened the same day he crawled, lol! hilsy85 on "When did you "count" the sitting milestone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-count-the-sitting-milestone#post-1546754 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 14:27:23 +0000 hilsy85 1546754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When he was sitting up unassisted (no hands, no leaning) and was solid at it. That was around 7 months or so. daniellemybelle on "When did you "count" the sitting milestone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-count-the-sitting-milestone#post-1546683 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 14:04:13 +0000 daniellemybelle 1546683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO is 5.5 months & can sit lightly assisted (like leaning against something) and has started to be able to sit up on her own by supporting herself with one hand while playing with the other. Last night she sat up unassisted & without "tripoding" for maybe 5-10 seconds. Clearly she has a ways to go to master sitting but she is on her way. Anyway, for the sake of the baby book, when do you "count" it?
