Parents can assist their baby in developing the skills needed to sit up by: - Providing ample tummy time: This helps strengthen the muscles in the neck, shoulders, arms, and back. - Using props: Placing the baby in a supported sitting position with the help of pillows or a boppy pillow can encourage them to practice balancing. - Encouraging play: Engaging the baby in activities that require reaching and grasping can help improve muscle coordination. - Offering support: Gently holding the babyâs hands and guiding them into a sitting position can build their confidence and stability.
