As we have said on several occasions, each baby needs his time for the development of certain facets, such as sitting still. Children usually begin learning to keep their heads up, to turn around and then to sit down. This happens between 4 and 7 months, and over 8, most babies manage to sit without support.
Many parents are eager to sit your baby, and mistakenly anticipate this moment by forcing the situation by helping him with cushions, they think that this way he will learn to be seated before, but in reality it can cause serious problems if the baby is not yet trained. If your muscles are not yet developed, you could suffer damage to the spine, because the weight falls on the lower back.
What can be done is to stimulate you to strengthen the muscles of the neck, back and arms. To do this, take advantage when lying down and offer something that catches your attention from above, so he will raise his head and try to raise his arms to reach it. When you start to sit with supports, you will have to stimulate him to perfect sitting, so you must learn to keep your balance, but always keeping us close. We can put toys that motivate him in front of him so that he leans slightly forward and tries to pick them up and then return to the starting position.
But remember, as long as the baby cannot sit alone, he should not remain in this position for a long time.
