Hello, I understand your concern Independent sitting usually develops between 6 to 9 months. At 8 months, it is still within normal if the baby: Has good head control Can roll over both sides Tries to lean forward with support Is engaging socially and vocalizing

Based on the information provided, your daughter was born at 37 weeks and her corrected age is currently 7 months and 4 weeks. At this age, many infants are just beginning to achieve milestones such as sitting independently. It is not uncommon for babies, especially those born a little early, to require some extra time to develop strong trunk control for independent sitting. Most babies can sit with minimal or no support between 6 to 8 months corrected age, but some may take a bit longer, particularly if they were born preterm. Your daughter’s ability to sit with support and attempt to sit by herself suggests she is making progress, even if she cannot yet remain upright without slumping forward. This gradual development is typically within the normal range for her corrected age. My opinion: From a pediatric point of view, your daughter’s development seems appropriate for her corrected age, especially given her prematurity. Close observation and encouragement of her efforts are important. However, it’s always best to share any concerns directly with your pediatrician to ensure comprehensive developmental monitoring. If she is not making additional progress in trunk control or does not develop independent sitting over the next 1-2 months, a formal developmental evaluation may be warranted.

The upper limit of age if attainment of sitting without support I 10 months. We can wait now . I wanted to know about other milestones also: In social domain : is stranger anxiety present ?
