8 month baby not sitting
My child has entered in his 8th month and he is still not sitting without support.
Also i see, when held with support, his head n upper body shakes a little.
Although he is able to turn himself n lift head properly.
Should we b concerned?

It's not this milestone alone that has to be addressed . Needs global evaluation. Needs consultation

Wait for 1 month more. Other milestones have to be checked like when he smiled, when he held head steady, rolled over. Please consult a pediatrician directly
