Mine would sit in the antilop quite happily before she could sit up herself on the floor if thats any help...

Have you got a bumbo? Could you borrow one?

My DD is almost 9 months and can't pull herself up to sitting from lying down! But can sit fine if I sit her up! The antilop was and is fantastic - used it first with the blow up bit which helped when she was a bit wobbly! Also hand her sticks of things, toast etc in bumbo and she feeds herself!

DS couldn't sit unaided at 6 months so we waited until he could....didn't have to wait long - he ate his first solids (BLW: steamed carrots sticks) at 29 weeks .

It will do your DS no harm to wait until he can sit up...in fact it will protect him - he'll be less likely to choke if he can sit unaided.

My dd is nearly 10 months and is crawling and standing but can't really sit properly. We've been BLW since she was 7 mo with no probs (did purees before then and changed to BLW
