Eight-month-old baby can't sit

As the old saying goes: three turns and six sits. In other words, a three-month-old baby should be able to roll over, and a six-month-old baby should be able to sit. However, this only applies to most babies. For some babies whose development is a little slow, they may not be able to sit steadily or even not be able to sit at all until six months old. Therefore, parents of six-month-old babies should not worry too much. It is normal for babies to take one or two months to sit at night.

Some babies may develop later and usually can sit up by nine months. If you are really worried, take your baby for a check-up. If an eight-month-old baby still can't sit, it may be a developmental delay.

1. Help your baby sit smoothly

1) Let your baby sit on a chair. Starting from the age of six months, if the baby cannot sit steadily at this time, parents can try to practice the baby sitting slowly. Let the baby sit against a chair for a while. Mom and dad can support the baby. If the baby is too tired, just sit for a while. Don't insist on sitting for too long. Just persist for a short while every day. Gradually, the baby will be able to sit steadily.

2) Play games to attract your baby to do it. Mothers can let the baby lie flat first, then take a toy that the baby likes to attract him. While attracting the baby, slowly help the baby sit up, and then let the baby return to the lying position. This can effectively enhance the baby's waist strength and allow the baby to sit more and more steadily.

1) Let your baby try crawling more often. Although babies will naturally learn to crawl, stand, walk, etc. when they grow to a certain stage, if the baby learns these things slowly, parents can train the baby to learn them as quickly as possible. For babies who are still slow to crawl, you can provide them with more opportunities to crawl and let them try to crawl. Prepare a crawling mat, put the baby on it, and the mother can hold toys in front to attract the baby. Some parents often put their children in strollers, so the babies have few opportunities to crawl on their own.

2) Assist the baby to crawl. When babies first start learning to crawl, they often feel that they cannot focus on their feet but their hands. Therefore, parents can assist their babies in crawling by helping them push one of their feet or holding one of their hands, so that the babies can slowly learn to crawl.
