When should my baby start sitting down?

Most babies learn to sit up on their own in the first year of life. It happens that a child starts to sit down at the age of 6 months, but the average age of learning this activity is about 7-8 months. However, each case is very individual and you should not force your child to sit when he is not ready for it. Some children learn to sit on their own after they are one year old.
