Bumbo Baby Seat or Boppy. A lot of the times my son wanted to be physically held up by us, but lots and lots of tummy time built his core and he was sitting on his own in no time. Good Luck!

The best seat in the world I ever found for a baby is totally free... Just sit crosslegged. Or even one leg tucked under. They fit in the hole perfectly... and can either lean back on your knee or belly, depending on which way you want them oriented.

Yep. Where ever Mommy is, is the perfect place to be. That was my son's attitude. I think I spent most of his first 5 years sitting on the carpet with him. On my lap at first. Then he would climb and crawl all over me. Soon it was time for riding me like I was a horse. We had lots of tickle games and heaps of tummy flubbies. And we built fantastic pillow forts. Enjoy it while it lasts. Babies grow up way too fast!

Use sofa pillows on her sides to help support her, or invest in a Bumbo chair...just never have her in it on an elevated surface when you are not right next to her.

Bumbo seat is great, though she won't be right up next to you. Or just prop her against you with lots of pillows. My 6 mo old likes sitting too but he is so wiggly he eventually falls over and twists all around no matter what I do. They dont' like to sit still at this age.

the bumbo seat worked wonders for me. i put my son in it from about 3/4 months. and he got used to sitting up. as for on the sofa put pillows on each side. but be sure she doesnt try to leap forward. also try a high chair? does she eat in one? that helped my son too. he didnt start fulling sitting up on his own until about 5. but i kept him in the bumbo seat ALOT. it really really helped.

My 8 month old loves to sit in my lap, with my legs crossed, or in her Boppy pillow. If she wants to sit next to me and I don't have her pillow, she snuggles in between myself and the arm of the couch.
