This tends to happen between four and seven months. But some babies reach this milestone earlier, and some a bit later. Once they can sit up on their own and play, it's just a matter of time until they move on to crawling, standing and walking. In other words, while your baby may indeed be seated upright, they aren’t working on the critical trunk and head control that will best develop when they’re practicing new body movements on their own.

The jumparoo is great as it shows baby how much fun being upright can be! There are tons of jumpers on the market, and you really do not have to spend a fortune on this type of toy.Normally babies start learning to sit up around the age of 4-7 months. Your baby might not develop their balance at that point and will probably fall when reaching for something.

You can lower your hands or decrease the support with time to challenge their muscles to work more. Activities and exercises to improve sitting
