Question
My baby, a twin, was premature by over forty days. During pregnancy, I didn’t lack anything. I’m wondering what could be the reason for the baby’s inability to sit steadily.
Answer
Generally, by eight months, babies develop many gross motor skills such as crawling, sitting up on their own, and standing with support from a railing. A baby’s instability in sitting could be due to weak lumbar muscles. It is suggested to increase the intake of calcium-rich foods and encourage the baby to engage in physical activities. If you are concerned, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further examination and treatment. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you.
