What's classed as 'sitting unaided'?
in Baby
My boys have always been slightly behind - due to them being identical twins, 4 weeks early and lazy boys! I have worried about this from day 1.
When the HV came to do their 8 month check she said they should be sitting unaided by 10 months, which would be 11 months in the case of my boys, before I need to worry.
Well, they are 10 months old on Friday and im just wondering what is classed as being able to sit unaided? They can both sit for a long period of time on their own, but I cant leave them. Sometimes they will fall (heavily) after a few seconds, sometimes after a few minutes, but they cant be left sitting confidently. They can sit up for ages if they *want* to! Would you class this as sitting unaided or do they have to be sitting alone, without anyone needing to be there, before they can be classed as being able to sit unaided?
Thanx

I think from what you describe, your boys are sitting unaided, they are just boys....capable but lazy!!

When do the 4 weeks that they were born early equal out?

I'd class it as pretty much being able to sit unaided, I mean let's face it, even as adults we can get distracted when doing the 'simplest' of things like walking and then falling over or walking into a lamppost eh lol
mummy and emmy-lee - Your post made me laugh out loud...thankyou very much for cheering up my Thursday morning! I lost the ability to be upright unaided when pg! The amount of times hubby/best friend/mum/stranger in the street had to catch me as I was about to topple over the nearest crack in the pavement/child/small dog is far too many to count. I seemed to lose the ability to balance!
Ill keep practicing with them then, but wont worry TOO much!
No worrying allowed! Just enjoy those lovely boys.
just enjoy your lovely boys and try not to worry they sound like they're doing fine to me and everyone else on here x
