PLEASE AM A NEW MUM AND MY BABIES ARE JUST 3 MONTHS AND A WEEK AND THEY ARE BOYS I WANT 2 START SITTING THEM DOWN BUT MOTHER IN LAW SAID BABY BOY MUST REACH 6 MONTHS BEFORE I START SITTING THEM DOWN. PLEASE HOW TRUE IS THIS

Your mother in law know better coz she has been through it so you have to do what she says so you wouldn't seem disrespectful• Happy birthday by the way•

Why don't u ask her for reasons...is it superstition? If it is,then she's wrong.Get the opinion of an experienced paediatrician.Personally,i do not think 3months is too early.

she said it usf 2 affect baby's spinal cord* pls doctors in the house how true is this

What! Can't believe this! Op, its your baby, you don't need any one's permission 2 do what is right. 6 months to sit a baby down? So when does the baby master sitting, crawl and walk? I know people who start sitting their babies from 2months+ and nothing happened 2 the babies. Just make sure you surround them with enough pillows. BTW op, why don't you post on the new born thread. I remember someone referring u to the thread some time ago.

Muti babe pls listen to ur MIL. Its for your own good. I also have twin boys and I was given same advise too when I wanted mine to start learning how to sit at 3m. The major reason given to me then was that, boys are different from girls interms of teaching them how to seat because at that age, their scrotum abi testis has not fully dropped and when they start learning too early it affects them. I had to wait till 5m to teach them and luckily, they were prepared for it cos within a week and 2weeks, there were already sitting on their own and one of my boys started walking at 8months 2wks. So my point is no matter how late they start sitting down, the rest will follow suit.

@blenddy77 thaNks 4 d advise what i was thinking b4 is dat if they start sittin early it wil hasting there walk but now i have learn more from u

I started sitting my boys down at three months plus,no one told me otherwise.You can still do what MIL said,i have a month old boy and I will start sitting him down at three months.

Average age is 6-7 months. Don't worry about it. All babies are very different. Cherish the time.
