Not able to sit with support
My baby completed 6 months
Birth weight -4.1 kg
Weight at 5 months completion - 8.47 kg
Born full term
He started rolling from the age of 3.5 months. From 5th month he is practicing crawling, tries to move forward, lift his back. He can roll from back to front and front to back. But when I am trying to make him sit He is either titled on left side or right side along with his head. Or mostly bends forward He enjoys tummy time a lot , but not able to sit. I am giving him Vitamin D daily.
What is the reason? Is He is having calcium deficiency? I am attaching photos to show. Please guide

Sitting with support is usually achieved at 6month of age and Sitting without support achieved at 8-9 month of age. This also can be slight early or delay in some babies. As rest of the milestones are achieved, he will attain this also. Start complementary feed now and continue vitamin d till 1 year of age. Usually breast milk has sufficient calcium to meet daily needs, no need of extra supplementation. Anytime a detail examination is better so if possible get a full Consultation.
Next Steps
just observe for some more time and start complementary feeding
