How can I encourage my eleven month old baby to pull her self up from lying to sitting and from sitting to standing

[Rubyabcd]

My daughter will pull up on me if I say give me your hands but will not take initiative herself!! I am especially worried about the lying to sitting, in the morning she just lies there until I go in and make her pull up on me!!

This may sound really stupid but I taught my daughter to crawl by litterally getting down on the floor beside her and getting her to copy me. I am not sure how you would translate that to your baby but perhaps you could both lie on the floor together and you could encourage from there??? I am not mad- honest. Good luck

She'll get it in her own time, don't think you need to encourage her.

Don't rush her, when she is ready she will do it :)

Ds was the same then one morning I found him stood up in his cot happily peeping over!

She will, give her time. You'll be wishing she would just lie still for half an hour soon!

Thanks guys, I am a worrier!!

I could have posted this yesterday but today DD2 (also 11 mth) just decided to do it. Agree with Sirzy - they just do it in their own time. Providing you are not concerned about her development generally (doesn't sound like it) then don't worry. I look back and laugh at the 'rolling practice' I did with DD1 to get her to meet her 'milestones' -completely unnecessary, what was I thinking?! V glad no-one else saw me!

Goodness I now feel like a prat. I thought everyone rolled about on the floor etc

I too have an embarrassing teaching DD to roll story in my past . Needless to say she is perfectly fine now and working hard on climbing out of her cot...

Thank goodness, I was starting to think I was going mad. We also took all the cushions off the sofa to make a kind of run way on the living room floor to practice walking. My husband was equally keen on doing this so I thought it was perfectly acceptable......
