Precursor Skills to Sitting Up: 1. Holding baby in upright postures with support. When you hold a 0-2 month old baby upright at your shoulder, he is learning to use his neck muscles to control his head position. (Initially the head bobs forward and back and needs to be supported).
The muscles they need to use develop gradually from birth, finally getting strong enough sometime between four and seven months. By the time they're eight months old, 90 per cent of babies can sit well without support. While you can prop your baby in a sitting position almost from day one, true independent sitting doesn't begin until your baby has head control. Starting at about four months, your baby's neck and head muscles strengthen rapidly, and she'll learn to raise and hold her head up while she's lying on her stomach.
