At what age......??

[mummysbigsmiles]

My dd is 7months old, should i now be trying to encourage her to sit up by herself? And also, what age do babies start to crawl usually, if they ever do.,...

I can only go off my DD (now 9).

at 6-7 months she sat up unaided.

7-8 months she could roll over

9 months - crawling

11 months wailing

Encourage her to sit up (cushions around her) and she will realise how much fun it is, once her muscles are strong enough she will do it by herself but you need to show her first.

lol @ wailing.

she does that too, of course I meant walking

DS1-

6 months- sitting up unaided
5 months- crawling, commando style
11 months- Walking

DS2-
Could sit from 7 months, but preferred to play on his front. He's now 10 months and has started sitting for longer periods of time.

Your baby will do these things in her own time but you can try sitting her up with cushions just to get her used to the feeling of sitting up.
Some babies never crawl, they prefer to bottom shuffle or roll across the room.

Dd sat up at 5 months and was quite solid by 6 months. Has only just started rolling onto front occasionally at 8 months. Will stay on all fours if you lift her onto it and bounce but doesn't go anywhere

She did it!!! Woooo! Proud mummy!!

well done to your DD! happy sitting
