At the age of 4 months, your baby’s neck and head muscles strengthen rapidly, and he will learn to raise and hold his head up while he is lying on his stomach.

By 5 months he may be able to sit momentarily without assistance, though you should stay nearby to provide support.

On reaching age of 7 months he will be able to sit unsupported, and he will learn how to pivot to reach a desired object while sitting.

At this point he may even be able to get from his tummy into a sitting position by pushing up on his arms. By the time he is 8 months old, he will likely be sitting well without support.
