How to train your baby to sit at a few months old

The child has been lying down every day since he was born. How should I train the baby to learn to sit at a few months old? The baby was very obedient when he was just born. The child is growing up every day, and gradually he doesn’t just want to lie down. He often uses his little arms to try to turn over. In this way, the child learned to turn over and crawl. My baby crawls very fast. These days, he wants to sit by himself when he is tired of crawling, but he is still small and can’t sit still. He falls down when he sits. I know the child wants to learn to sit, and I want to teach him. I have learned some methods of training him to sit, and now I will share these contents with you.

A normal baby can maintain a sitting position for a short period of time with the support of an adult at 4 months after birth; at 6 months, he can be held and sit on an adult's knees. If he sits independently, his body will lean forward and he must support himself with his hands; at about 7 months, he can sit independently for a while. It is not good for the baby to sit too early or too late. According to this developmental law, proper sitting training for babies is beneficial to the healthy growth of bones and muscles in their cervical spine, chest, back and other parts.

How to train your baby to sit:

Exercise your baby's psoas muscles. Mother and baby playing pulling game. That is, let the baby lie on his back in the bed, and the mother faces the child.
