Sitting and crawling
My baby boy is 9 months and 4 weeks old. He is active and does rolling on both sides. He moves around by rolling. If made to sit, he is sitting firmly without support for few minutes.
He has not started sitting on his own. We consulted pediatrician and suggested to encourage him to crawl and sit. With encouragement, he started to do army crawling for three days. After that he is crying if we insist him to crawl and even turn back when put on tummy.
We are really worried as he has not started sitting in his own and does not show any attempt to sit. He is happy if made to stand with support. Any suggestion to improve?

It is just that child is worried and hesitant.
Some child take longer time.
Maybe the child will sit late, crawl first and that is totally normal.
