Six month old baby cannot sit steadily

Six-month-old babies’ bodies are growing rapidly every day, and they really look different every day. Think about it, babies had just learned to roll over three months ago, but now they are not satisfied with this skill. Some babies with stronger physiques are even eager to try to learn to stand. However, most 6-month-old babies are still in the stage of learning how to sit steadily. For babies who progress relatively slower than babies of the same age, they may not be able to sit steadily.

1. First of all, put away your mother’s doting and heartache. A six-month-old baby can turn over, roll, and spin in bed by himself. He can freely pick up things that interest him and play with them for a long time.

2. The baby lies on his back in bed. He will actively grab the mother's fingers, and the mother will pull him up and down. Do this 6 to 10 times a day, and keep doing it every day! This will help your baby to control his waist strength well, and will not fall down again at the moment of sitting up. Another point is that it is also a good exercise for the baby's arm strength. Mothers should all know that doctors in the hospital will ask the baby to do this shortly after the baby is born, but at that time they will not ask the baby to be pulled up.

3. Let the baby lie on the folded quilt or sofa back, and the baby will move his legs freely. This helps the child's overall coordination. When sitting, he will be able to turn his legs at will and maintain balance, which will be of great benefit to his future learning to crawl.

When the baby first starts to sit up, he will sway left and right or lean forward, so the mother can let the baby lean on the quilt, and then gradually be able to sit very steadily. If a 6-month-old baby cannot even do basic sitting, the mother should take the baby to the hospital for a physical examination.

1. Sleeping on your stomach

Some babies of this age like to sleep on their stomachs. This is the baby's personal preference and not a disease. He only chooses this sleeping position after he turns over freely and feels more comfortable sleeping on his stomach. Generally, this sleeping position will not cause breathing difficulties due to chest compression, so parents do not need to worry.

2. Don’t cover your baby with a thick blanket

If the child always kicks off the quilt after falling asleep at night, parents should be careful not to cover the child too much or too thickly, especially when the child has just fallen asleep. Parents should cover the child less and then cover the child more when it gets cold at night. If the quilt is a little thinner, the child will not get frozen. If the quilt is too thick, the child will feel hot and kick off the quilt, which makes it easier for the child to catch a cold.

The clothes children wear should be of appropriate thickness. If they wear too little, their hands and feet will become cold and they will be prone to illness. Wearing too many clothes makes it inconvenient to move and you will sweat as soon as you move. After sweating, it is easy to catch a cold if you are exposed to the wind. If you want your children to be safe and not get sick, they just need to eat until they are 70% full and wear 70% warm clothes. If they eat too much or wear too many clothes, they will be more likely to get sick.
