I know this topic has been covered before but needed some thoughts as I am getting quite worried. My dd is 8 months old and doesn't really sit up. She can sit up but as soon as she reaches for a toy or turns, she topples over. She is never ever still... always looking for the next thing so ends up managing to sit for no more than 15-20 seconds at best. She hasn't worked out using her hands to keep her stable and upright. I am concerned as I thought by 8 months all babies are able to sit for quite a while. In every other respect she seems fine... has said her first words, rolls in both directions, very mobile - not crawling but moves along commando style, happy to spend time on her tummy etc. Was interested to know if anyone else has babies who have taken this long to sit up properly?
